This paper reviews the breadth of complexity of the design process, products,
manufacturing, and business. Manufacturing is facing unprecedented challenges due to …

The rationality principle postulates that decision-makers always choose the best action
available to them. It underlies most modern theories of decision-making. The principle does …

Many problems in science and engineering can be formulated as optimization problems,
subject to complex nonlinear constraints. The solutions of highly nonlinear problems usually …

Public key cryptography is a major interdisciplinary subject with many real-world
applications, such as digital signatures. A strong background in the mathematics underlying …

The Shape of Thought: How Mental Adaptations Evolve presents a road map for an
evolutionary psychology of the twenty-first century. It brings together theory from biology and …

The increasing demands for reducing greenhouse emissions and improving fuel efficiency
of marine transportation have presented opportunities for electric ships. Due to the …

This book is rooted in the thesis that complexity theory is extremely rich in conceptual

A simple parallel randomized algorithm to find a maximal independent set in a graph G=(V,
E) on n vertices is presented. Its expected running time on a concurrent-read concurrent …

Abstract The Maximal Independent Set (MIS) problem is one of the basics in the study of
locality in distributed graph algorithms. This paper presents a very simple randomized …
