We introduce a strategic decision problem in a one-way electric car sharing system. We propose a mixed integer linear programming formulation for solving this problem. We conduct an extensive computational study to test the performance of our formulation and its relaxations by using real data instances. The results turn out to be encouraging for diving into more challenging extensions of the problem...
This paper contains the first considerations of a computer scientist approaching the digital forensic. After some years of consultancies for both judges and parties I developed some thoughts that probably are worthwhile to share.

Learning Analytics is the measurement, analysis, and reporting of data about learners and their contexts, for the purposes of understanding and optimizing learning and the environments in which it occurs. Civitas Learning has created a suite of learning analytics tools and employed early versions of this software at Valencia College in Orlando, Florida. We explore the use of this tool in three instructors'...
Interactions between industry and academia are seen as one of the key elements of the quality of higher education and a key element of the system of innovation of the nations. However, there is a widely noted gap between industry needs and the education that new engineers receive.

There is a finite number of non-cooperating clients competing for execution of their jobs by a single service provider in order to minimize job completion time costs. The clients can move their jobs to complete earlier in a given sequence. However, they have to compensate the cost increase to the other clients whose jobs are completed later due to this move. All clients are assumed to be fully risk...
