When search is against structured documents, it is beneficial to extract information from user queries in a format that is consistent with the backend data structure. As one step...
Multiprocessor task scheduling is an important and computationally difficult problem. This paper proposes a comparison study of genetic algorithm and list scheduling algorithm. Bo...
Building cost estimation models is often considered a search problem in which the solver should return an optimal solution satisfying an objective function. This solution also nee...
This paper deals with the adaptive variance scaling issue in continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms. A phenomenon is discovered that current adaptive variance scaling me...
We address the problem of minimizing power consumption in behavioral synthesis of data-dominated circuits. The complex nature of power as a cost function implies that the effects ...
