VLSI placement tools usually work in two steps: First, the cells that have to be placed are roughly spread out over the chip area ignoring disjointness (global placement). Then, i...
The success of stochastic algorithms is often due to their ability to effectively amplify the performance of search heuristics. This is certainly the case with stochastic sampling ...
Abstract. We investigate the problem of using function approximation in reinforcement learning where the agent’s policy is represented as a classifier mapping states to actions....
Besides traditional domains (e.g., resource allocation, data mining applications), algorithms for medoid computation and related problems will play an important role in numerous e...
In this paper, we consider the problem of dynamic lightpath protection in survivable WDM networks with single link failure model. Our work concerns in how to dynamically determine...
