This paper discusses a simple representation of variable-dimensional optimization problems for evolutionary algorithms. Although it was successfully applied to the optimization of ...
Abstract. Sequential quadratic programming (SQP) methods have proved highly effective for solving constrained optimization problems with smooth nonlinear functions in the objective...

This article introduces a new theory of intention representation which is based1 on a structure called a Dynamic Intention Structure (DIS). The theory of DISs was motivated2 by the...
Legitimacy is a key part of the social requirements specification for a trusted virtual community environment (VCE). If an environment is not seen as legitimate, social conflicts m...
A new computational paradigm is described which o ers the possibility of superlinear and sometimes unbounded speedup, when parallel computation is used. The computations involved ...
