Abstract-The aim of this work is to compare some deterministic optimization algorithms and evolutionary algorithms on parameter estimation in a biological circuit design problem: t...
We present a low cost, hybrid active/passive 3D scanning system based on an off-the-shelf camera, a laser stripe illuminator and a turntable. The system combines the good accuracy ...

The cost of a query plan depends on many parameters, such as predicate selectivities and available memory, whose values may not be known at optimization time. Parametric query opt...
Optimising the parameters of ranking functions with respect to standard IR rank-dependent cost functions has eluded satisfactory analytical treatment. We build on recent advances ...
