Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...
In this paper, we describe how a genetic algorithm approach added to a simulated annealing (SA) process offers a better alternative to find the mean variance frontier in the portf...

This paper considers strategies for external memory based optimal planning. An external breadth-first search exploration algorithm is devised that is guaranteed to find the costop...
Multihop lightwave networks are a means of utilizing the large bandwidth of optical fibers. In these networks, each node has a fixed number of transmitters and receivers connected...
Scheduling query execution plans is a particularly complex problem in hierarchical parallel systems, where each site consists of a collection of local time-shared (e.g., CPU(s) or...
