Hierarchical Parallel Simulated Annealing and Its Applications
In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...

Cross Entropy: A New Solver for Markov Random Field Modeling and Applications to Medical Image Segmentation
This paper introduces a novel solver, namely cross entropy (CE), into the MRF theory for medical image segmentation. The solver, which is based on the theory of rare event simulati...

Stochastic Approximation with Simulated Annealing as an Approach to Global Discrete-Event Simulation Optimization
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
