— The research field of partitioning for electronic systems started to attract significant attention of scientists about fifteen years ago. Gaining ever more importance due to...
The Partitioning problem is a key issue in the design of Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) systems based on a server-network architecture. This problem consist of efficiently ...
Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
This paper proposes a method for dealing with numerical attributes in inductive concept learning systems based on genetic algorithms. The method uses constraints for restricting th...
