One of the challenging problems for surface mining operation optimization is choosing the
optimal truck and loader fleet. We refer to this problem as the equipment selection problem …

Recent developments in information technology have brought about important changes in
distributed computing. New environments such as massively large-scale, wide-area …

The availability of cheaper, faster, and more reliable electronic components has stimulated
important advances in computing and communication technologies. Theoretical and …

Computing energy efficient broadcast trees is one of the most prominent operations in
wireless networks. For stations embedded in the Euclidean plane, the best analytic result …

Ad hoc wireless multi-hop networks (AHWMNs) are communication networks that consist
entirely of wireless nodes, placed together in an ad hoc manner, ie with minimal prior …

Mining frequent patterns refers to the discovery of the sets of items that frequently appear in
a transaction database. Many approaches have been proposed for mining frequent itemsets …

Broadcasting in wireless networks, unlike wired networks, inherently reaches several nodes
with a single transmission. For an omnidirectional wireless broadcast to a node, all nodes …

Topology control is one of the most important techniques used in wireless ad hoc and
sensor networks to reduce energy consumption. Algorithms for topology control attempt to …

A mobile ad-hoc network is considered as a dynamic autonomous system composed of
mobile devices interconnected by links without wire, without the use of a fixed infrastructure …

This paper deals with cost allocation problems arising from connection situations where
edge costs are closed intervals of real numbers. To solve such problems, we extend to the …
