We present in this work a wide spectrum of results on analyzing the behavior of parallel heuristics for solving optimization problems. We focus on evolutionary algorithms as well ...
Mesh partitioning is an important problem that has extensive applications in many areas. Multilevel algorithms are a successful class of optimization techniques which addresses th...
Abstract. The graph partitioning problem consists of dividing the vertices of a graph into a set of balanced parts, such that the number of edges connecting vertices in different ...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new technique called adaptive elitistpopulation search method for allowing unimodal function optimization methods to be extended to efficiently lo...
Learning Bayesian networks from data has been studied extensively in the evolutionary algorithm communities [Larranaga96, Wong99]. We have previously explored extending some of the...
