Where am I and what am I seeing? This is a classical vision problem and this paper presents a solution based on efficient use of a combination of 2D and 3D features. Given a model...
Hard problems for metaheuristic search can be a source of insight for developing better methods. We examine a challenging instance of such a problem that has exactly two local opt...
The proportionate flow shop (PFS) is considered as a unique case of the flow shop problem in which the processing times of the operations belonging to the same job are equal. A pr...
Mediator systems integrate distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources, but their e ective use requires the solution of hard query optimization problems. This is usuall...
Hybrid genetic algorithms have received significant interest in recent years and are being increasingly used to solve real-world problems. A genetic algorithm is able to incorporat...
