We investigate an optimal scheduling problem in a discrete-time system of L parallel queues that are served by K identical servers. This model has been widely used in studies of em...

Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Given a large sparse graph, how can we find patterns and anomalies? Several important applications can be modeled as large sparse graphs, e.g., network traffic monitoring, resea...
In this paper the distributed Constraint Satisfaction Ant Algorithm (CSAA) framework is presented. It uses an ant-based system for the distributed solving of constraint satisfacti...
Amethod is developed to identifya taxiing airplane and measure its position correctly under various lighting and weather conditionsby inputting a moving image from an adaptively-co...
