The assessment of credibility and reputation of contractors in online auctions is the key issue in providing reliable environment for customer-to-customer e-commerce. Confident re...
There exist practical bit-parallel algorithms for several types of pair-wise string processing, such as longest common subsequence computation or approximate string matching. The b...
Sparse Grids are the basis for efficient high dimensional approximation and have recently been applied successfully to predictive modelling. They are spanned by a collection of si...
In this paper, we describe the application of a new type of genetic algorithm called the Structured Genetic Algorithm (sGA) for function optimization in nonstationary environments...
