This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
Evolutionary computation methods have been used to solve several optimization and learning problems. This paper describes an application of evolutionary computation methods to con...
A principle task in parallel and distributed systems is to reduce the communication load in the interconnection network, as this is usually the major bottleneck for the performanc...
We propose a protocol for a local search and a genetic algorithm for the distributed traveling salesman problem (TSP). In the distributed TSP, information regarding the cost funct...
—In this paper, we propose a new nonlinear classier based on a generalized Choquet integral with signed fuzzy measures to enhance the classification power by capturing all possib...
