We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
Abstract Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) provide an efficient support for serving http and streaming media content while minimizing the network impact of content delivery as well...
Let f be a univariate polynomial with real coefficients, f ∈ R[X]. Subdivision algorithms based on algebraic techniques (e.g., Sturm or Descartes methods) are widely used for is...
We propose a classification method based on a decision tree whose nodes consist of linear Support Vector Machines (SVMs). Each node defines a decision hyperplane that classifies p...
This paper describes an algorithm for the determination of zone content type of a given zone within a document image. We take a statistical based approach and represent each zone ...
