The building-block hypothesis states that the GA works well when short, low-order, highly-fit schemas recombine to form even more highly fit higher-order schemas. The ability to p...
We study the representation, derivation and utilization of a special kind of constraints in multidatabase systems. A major challenge is when component database schemas are schemat...
We introduce two new methods of deriving the classical PCA in the framework of minimizing the mean square error upon performing a lower-dimensional approximation of the data. These...
The paper presents a Java-based object-oriented system that offers a layered infrastructure to create the adequate framework for complex interactions between Grid components (e.g....
