Abstract— Adapting software components usable by a particular application is a crucial issue in software component based technology. In fact, software components can be used in c...
Abstract— We present a unifying framework for continuous optimization and sampling. This framework is based on Gaussian Adaptation (GaA), a search heuristic developed in the late...
Reservoir sampling is a well-known technique for sequential random sampling over data streams. Conventional reservoir sampling assumes a fixed-size reservoir. There are situation...

Sampling is an important tool for estimating large, complex sums and integrals over highdimensional spaces. For instance, importance sampling has been used as an alternative to ex...
Abstract. The usual approach to deal with noise present in many realworld optimization problems is to take an arbitrary number of samples of the objective function and use the samp...
