This paper proposes an estimation of distribution algorithm (EDA) aiming at addressing globally multimodal problems, i.e., problems that present several global optima. It can be r...
In many regression learning algorithms for fuzzy rule bases it is not possible to define the error measure to be optimized freely. A possible alternative is the usage of global o...
Multiple clock cycles are needed to cross the global interconnects for multi-gigahertz designs in nanometer technologies. For synchronous designs, this requires retiming and pipel...
In an assembly line with high labor proportion, the workforce planning and scheduling is a very complex problem. At the background of increasing labor costs, it is very important ...
Vertical partition is an important technique in database design used to enhance performance in database systems. Vertical fragmentation is a combinatorial optimization problem that...
