We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
Recent theoretical results have shown that improved bounds on generalization error of classifiers can be obtained by explicitly taking the observed margin distribution of the trai...
Based on the framework of service-oriented architecture (SOA), complex distributed systems can be dynamically and automatically composed by integrating distributed Web services pr...
Collective operations are an important aspect of the currently most important message-passing programming model MPI (Message Passing Interface). Many MPI applications make heavy u...
The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
