Case-based reasoning (CBR) aims at using experience from the past in order to guide future problem solving rather than “starting from scratch” every time. We propose a CBR stra...
Focused crawlers are considered as a promising way to tackle the scalability problem of topic-oriented or personalized search engines. To design a focused crawler, the choice of s...
Recent results show that the Differential Evolution algorithm has significant difficulty on functions that are not linearly separable. On such functions, the algorithm must rely...

Real-time dynamic programming (RTDP) is a heuristic search algorithm for solving MDPs. We present a modified algorithm called Focused RTDP with several improvements. While RTDP ma...
Traditional global search heuristics to solve constraint satisfaction problems focus on properties of an individual variable that mandate early search attention. If, however, one ...
