The basic idea to defend in this paper is that an adequate perception of the search space, sacrificing most of the precision, can paradoxically accelerate the discovery of the mo...
Abstract— Alternate path routing has been well-explored in telecommunication networks as a means of decreasing the call blocking rate and increasing network utility. However, asi...
Abstract. A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is i...
Abstract—We first present a problem called precedence constrained two traveling salesman (PC2TSP). We propose a nearoptimal heuristic to PC2TSP to generate tours by clustering p...
Abstract. Recent studies demonstrating the existence of special non-coding "antisense" RNAs used in post-transcriptional gene regulation have received considerable attent...
