A Cloud may be seen as a type of flexible computing infrastructure consisting of many compute nodes, where resizable computing capacities can be provided to different customers. T...
The M-tree and its variants have been proved to provide an efficient similarity search in database environments. In order to further improve their performance, in this paper we pro...
It has recently been shown, for the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), that the state associated with a node of the search tree built by a backtracking algorithm can be exploit...
This paper reports our experience extending an on-line printer controller based on AI planning to handle two significant features of this commercially important domain: execution ...
Abstract. In this paper we present a study of several Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms for the Set Covering Problem. In our computational study we emphasize the influence ...
