Most former studies of Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DisCOPs) search considered only complete search algorithms, which are practical only for relatively small prob...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
In the rank join problem, we are given a set of relations and a scoring function, and the goal is to return the join results with the top K scores. It is often the case in practic...
— Chemical-Mechanical Polishing (CMP) is one of the key steps during nanometer VLSI manufacturing process where minimum variation of layout pattern densities is desired. This pap...
A problem of assigning cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles to perform multiple tasks on multiple targets is posed as a new combinatorial optimization problem. A genetic algori...
