We compare standard global IR searching with user-centric localized techniques to address the database selection problem. We conduct a series of experiments to compare the retriev...
Many text databases on the web are "hidden" behind search interfaces, and their documents are only accessible through querying. Search engines typically ignore the conte...

Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
An ever increasing amount of valuable information is stored in Web databases, "hidden" behind search interfaces. To save the user's effort in manually exploring eac...
We present a global search technique for nding the global minimal conformation of a sequence in Dill's HP-lattice model5;6 . The HP-lattice model is a simpli ed model of prot...
