Vertical partition is an important technique in database design used to enhance performance in database systems. Vertical fragmentation is a combinatorial optimization problem that...
— Self-localization is a major research task in mobile robotics for several years. Efficient self-localization methods have been developed, among which probabilistic Monte-Carlo...
This paper presents an updated version of the adaptive learning particle swarm optimizer (ALPSO) [6], we call it ALPSO-II. In order to improve the performance of ALPSO on multi-mod...
I/O is a major performance bottleneck in modern computer systems. Modern disks use the Zone-Bit-Recording (ZBR) technology to increase the capacity. A direct consequence of ZBR is...
