Abstract-- In many real-world scenarios, in contrast to standard benchmark optimization problems, we may face some uncertainties regarding the objective function. One source of the...
Abstract— Developing a full-fledged cost-based XQuery optimizer is a fairly complex task. Nowadays, there is little knowledge concerning suitable cost formulae and optimization ...
Finding the optimal teaching strategy for an individual student is difficult even for an experienced teacher. Identifying and incorporating multiple optimal teaching strategies fo...
Abstract. In this paper we describe the OnEQL system, a query engine that implements optimization techniques and evaluation strategies to speed up the evaluation time of querying a...
The current paper uses a scenario from logistics to show that modern heuristics, and in particular particle swarm optimization (PSO) can significantly add to the improvement of sta...
