A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
Abstract--This paper contains a modern vision of the parallelization techniques used for evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The work is motivated by two fundamental facts: first, the d...
— This work addresses the problem of building representative subsets of benchmarks from an original large set of benchmarks, using statistical analysis techniques. The subsets sh...

We describe a hybrid linear programming (LP) and evolutionary algorithm (EA) based resource matcher suitable for heterogeneous grid environments. The hybrid matcher adopts the ite...
