Services for locating mobile objects are often organized as a distributed search tree. The advantage of such an organization is that the service can easily scale as a distributed ...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are efficient non-gradient stochastic search methods. Parallel GAs are proposed to overcome the deficiencies of sequential GAs, such as low speed and aptn...

This paper examines the road train concept as a new alternative in long-distance freight traffic. The design of such a system is a difficult task since many different and conflicti...
In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective function is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this ...
