This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Term weighting strongly influences the performance of text mining and information retrieval approaches. Usually term weights are determined through statistical estimates based on s...
Abstract-- We address the problem of batching messages generated at nodes of a sensor network for the purpose of reducing communication energy at the expense of added latency. We f...
Abstract. Scheduling problems in the forest industry have received significant attention in the recent years and have contributed many challenging applications for optimization te...
