In this work we consider hierarchical clustering algorithms, such as UPGMA, which follow the closest-pair joining scheme. We survey optimal O(n2)-time implementations of such algo...
Electromagnetism-like algorithm (EM) is a population-based meta-heuristic which has been proposed to solve continuous problems effectively. In this paper, we present a new meta-h...
We consider the generalized assignment problem in which the objective is to find a minimum cost assignment of a set of jobs to a set of agents subject to resource constraints. Th...
The wavelet transform hierarchically decomposes images with prescribed bases, while multilineal models search for optimal bases to adapt visual data. In this paper, we integrate t...
The design of complex embedded systems involves the simultaneous optimization of several often competing objectives. Instead of a single optimal design, there is rather a set of a...
