This paper presents a modification of the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) intended to combat the problem of premature convergence observed in many applications of PSO. ...
Compression in column-oriented databases has been proven to offer both performance enhancements and reductions in storage consumption. This is especially true for read access as c...
In this paper we extend the work done in [5], where authors have proposed a evolutionary multi-objective approach to Rapid Prototyping (RP), to decipher optimal build orientation ...
Abstract. Bilevel optimization problems require every feasible upperlevel solution to satisfy optimality of a lower-level optimization problem. These problems commonly appear in ma...
The field of stochastic optimization studies decision making under uncertainty, when only probabilistic information about the future is available. Finding approximate solutions to...
