Discrete gate sizing is a critical optimization in VLSI circuit design. Given a set of available gate sizes, discrete gate sizing problem asks to assign a size to each gate such th...
— JADE is a recent variant of Differential Evolution (DE) for numerical optimization, which has been reported to obtain some promising results in experimental study. However, we ...
A cost-effective approach to building up scalable Videoon-Demand (VoD) servers is to couple a number of VoD servers together in a cluster. In this article, we study a crucial vide...
In this paper we consider the following maximum budgeted allocation (MBA) problem: Given a set of m indivisible items and n agents; each agent i willing to pay bij on item j and w...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
