Given a set of patterns and a similarity measure between them, we will present an optimization framework to approximate a small subset, known as a canonical set, whose members clo...
Optimal path queries are queries to obtain an optimal path specified by a given criterion of optimality. There have been many studies to give efficient algorithms for classes of o...
The Web proxy cache placement problem is often formulated as a classical optimization problem: place N proxies within an internetwork so as to minimize the average user response t...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
Abstract. Cost-based filtering is a novel approach that combines techniques from Operations Research and Constraint Programming to filter from decision variable domains values that...
