While meta-heuristics are effective for solving large-scale combinatorial optimization problems, they result from time-consuming trial-and-error algorithm design tailored to speci...

In a distributed computing system (DCS), we need to allocate a number of modules to different processors for execution. It is desired to maximize the processor synergism in order...
This paper presents a simple, hybrid two phase global optimization algorithm called DE-PSO for solving global optimization problems. DE-PSO consists of alternating phases of Diffe...
In a distributed system, a number of application tasks may need to be assigned to different processors such that the system cost is minimized and the constraints with limited reso...
Mediator systems integrate distributed, heterogeneous and autonomous data sources, but their e ective use requires the solution of hard query optimization problems. This is usuall...
