Scheduling generative-AI jobs in the edge computing environment faces multiple non-trivial challenges, including the Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) dependency among tasks, the intrinsic intertwinement between task scheduling and model selection, and the dynamic unpredictable arrival of job DAGs. In this work, we capture all such challenges and formulate a non-linearinteger program to optimize the long-term profit of the generative-AI service provider, i.e., service revenue of the admitted jobs minus system costs of executing the tasks contained in such job DAGs. This problem is NP-hard even in the offline setting. To solve it, we first reformulate it into an equivalent schedule selection problem using generated schedules to tackle complex constraints. Then, we design a new online scheduling method through the online primal-dual technique. Experimental results confirm that our approach can increase the total service profit by up to 41.2% compared to existing algorithms.

In this paper, we consider the multi-agent path planning problem for high-level tasks with finite horizons. In many situations, there is the need to count how many times a sub-task is satisfied in order to achieve the overall task. However, existing temporal logic languages, such as linear temporal logic, may not be efficient in describing such requirements. To address this issue, we propose a new temporal logic language called Counting Time Temporal Logic (CTTL) that extends linear temporal logic by explicitly counting the number of times that some tasks are satisfied. To solve the CTTL path planning problem, we use integer linear programming to encode the satisfaction of the task. We demonstrate that our approach is both sound and complete. To validate our results, we present numerical experiments to show the scalability of the proposed approach. Furthermore, we provide a simulation case study of a team of autonomous robots to illustrate the synthesis procedure.
We study the complexity of identifying the integer feasibility of reverse convex sets. We present various settings where the complexity can be either NP-Hard or efficiently solvable when the dimension is fixed. Of par...

Course scheduling is a necessary but often challenging task, requiring consideration of university requirements, practical limitations, departmental needs, and faculty preferences. Furthermore, it can be difficult to determine if a proposed schedule satisfies all of the requirements, especially as changes may be made within the process. Clearly articulated schedule requirements can be translated into an integerlinear program by operations researchers, and those with domain-specific knowledge can then use linearprogramming solvers like PyGLPK. However, few faculty members in a university are likely to have that experience, so we developed a web-based tool, including the underlying Python code, that allows for entry of information about courses and the faculty teaching them and creates a schedule consistent with the requirements. More than simply a scheduler, a user can propose changes such as swapping two courses or placing a course at a specific time;the website will either do so, or report that such a change is infeasible. In addition, a user can share the website and file with colleagues, allowing them to better appreciate what is and is not possible for the overall schedule. Recognizing that the precise set of scheduling requirements is often unique to a given university, the source code is made available in a public GitHub repository, providing opportunities for other universities to create a version customized to their needs and structure.

Risk-bounded motion planning for autonomous driving in dynamic environments presents significant research challenges. Ensuring continuous navigation towards a destination while making real-time decisions is a nonconvex problem. This paper presents a graph-based local planning method constrained by user-specific driving preference, represented as a risk-bound criterion for motion planning. First, we propose a lattice graph construction method that adheres to the vehicle's curvature constraints. Then, we formulate the trajectory planning problem as an integer-linearprogramming task, addressed by our novel risk-bounded and prediction-aware constrained shortest path. Our solution accounts for both static and dynamic obstacles in urban settings, adhering to traffic regulations. At the core of our approach is a conservative spatiotemporal risk assessment mechanism, which evaluates collisions considering the uncertain delay from speed control of the ego vehicle and predicted trajectories of dynamic obstacles. We implemented our solution using the CARLA simulator and the ROS2 platform, within a comprehensive framework encompassing global planning, local planning, and vehicle control. The effectiveness of our approach is demonstrated through notable collision avoidance, improved path-tracking, and enhanced risk-bounded planning capabilities.

This study presents an innovative extension to Home Healthcare Scheduling and Routing Problem (HHCRSP), introducing an Optional Starting Point (OSP) that allows for personalization of routes from the caregivers' homes directly to patients. We developed a model using Mixed integer linear programming (MILP) and a metaheuristic method inspired by the Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedure (GRASP). This combination aims to make scheduling and routing more efficient, saving time and improving the quality of care for patients at home. Our results show that this new method can significantly enhance how home healthcare is delivered, making it more flexible and effective for both caregivers and patients.

Electric vehicles (EVs) provide a promising solution to global pollution by replacing conventional vehicles. Enough public charging stations must be built to encourage the broad adoption of electric vehicles (EVs). Additionally, efficient scheduling and planning of EV arrivals at charging stations with a variety of power sources is essential for improving overall operating efficiency. This paper presents a framework for optimizing both the profit and throughput of a charging station that incorporates a solar photovoltaic system and an energy storage system. We present an integer linear programming model to find the optimal solution. We propose a heuristic strategy to efficiently find near-optimal solutions. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed approach can provide a reasonably good solution and for small inputs, the performance deviation is less than 5%. For larger inputs, a comparison of the heuristic and baseline is presented. In certain scenarios, the heuristic performs well, while the baseline exhibits better performance in others. We can use both approaches and select the one that yields better results.
