Distributed heterogeneous search systems are an emerging phenomenon in Web search, in which independent topic-specific search engines provide search services, and metasearchers d...
Spectral analysis approaches have been actively studied in machine learning and data mining areas, due to their generality, efficiency, and rich theoretical foundations. As a natur...

Local genetic algorithms have been designed with the aim of providing effective intensification. One of their most outstanding features is that they may help classical local searc...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...
