The integration of genetic algorithms (GAs) and tabu search is one of traditional problems in function optimization in the GA literature. However, most proposed methods have utili...
We present a theory of a modeler's problem decomposition skills in the context of optimal reasonzng -- the use of qualitative modeling to strategically guide numerical explor...
This work studies optimal sensor placement and motion coordination strategies for mobile sensor networks. For a target tracking application with range sensors, we investigate the ...
We present a novel technique called comparison checking that helps optimizer writers debug optimizers by testing, for given inputs, that the semantics of a program are not changed...
Optimization of a similarity metric is an essential component in most medical image registration approaches based on image intensities. The increasing availability of parallel comp...
