This paper presents a modification of the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) intended to combat the problem of premature convergence observed in many applications of PSO. ...
It has previously been shown analytically and experimentally that continuous Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) based on the normal pdf can easily suffer from premature ...
This paper presents a strategy to improve the AdaBoost algorithm with a quadratic combination of base classifiers. We observe that learning this combination is necessary to get be...
— Opportunistic routing is proposed to improve the performance of wireless networks by exploiting the broadcast nature and spatial diversity of the wireless medium. In this paper...
Abstract—Wireless sensor networks are evolving from singleapplication platforms towards an integrated infrastructure shared by multiple applications. Given the resource constrain...
