Current methods for selectivity estimation fall into two broad categories, synopsis-based and sampling-based. Synopsis-based methods, such as histograms, incur minimal overhead at ...
Both parametric design tasks and analysis tasks of technical systems have a similar problem setting: The structure of the system to be configured or analyzed is defined already. W...
The paper investigates a new method to solve concatenation problems of Mandarin speech synthesis which is based on the hybrid approach of HMM-based speech synthesis and unit selec...
In a distributed computing system (DCS), we need to allocate a number of modules to different processors for execution. It is desired to maximize the processor synergism in order...
The correct choice of an evolutionary algorithm, a genetic representation for the problem being solved (as well as their associated variation operators) and the appropriate values...
