In this paper we propose a novel approach to decentralised coordination, that is able to efficiently compute solutions with a guaranteed approximation ratio. Our approach is base...

We introduce the Spacing Memetic Algorithm (SMA), a formal evolutionary model devoted to a systematic control of spacing (distances) among individuals. SMA uses search space dista...

Search results clustering problem is defined as an automatic, on-line grouping of similar documents in a search hits list, returned from a search engine. In this paper we present t...
In this work we deal with sandwich graphs G = (V, E) and present the notion of vertices f-controlled by a subset M V . We introduce the generalized maxcontrolled set problem (gmc...

We hypothesized that language modeling retrieval would improve if we reduced the need for document smoothing to provide an inverse document frequency (IDF) like effect. We create...
