A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
Side actions contribute to mold cost by resulting in an additional manufacturing and assembly cost as well as by increasing the molding cycle time. Therefore, generating shapes of ...
We address the problem of optimizing the distribution of partially replicated databases over a computer network. Replication is used to increase data availability in the presence ...

This paper reports our experience when integrating differ resources and services into a grid environment. The use case we address implies the deployment of several NLP application...
We consider bandit problems involving a large (possibly infinite) collection of arms, in which the expected reward of each arm is a linear function of an r-dimensional random vect...
