Quantum evolutionary algorithm (QEA) is proposed on the basis of the concept and principles of quantum computing, which is a classical metaheuristic algorithm for the approximate s...
Image restoration problems are often converted into large-scale, nonsmooth and nonconvex optimization problems. Most existing minimization methods are not efficient for solving su...
The rapidly increasing traffic demand from mobile users forces network operators and service providers to extend and optimize existing networks as well as to plan entirely new mo...
: We study mobile P2P content dissemination schemes which leverage the local dedicated caches provided by hand-held devices (e.g., smart-phones, PDAs) and opportunistic contacts be...
We consider algorithms for finding the optimal location of a simple transportation device, that we call a moving walkway, consisting of a pair of points in the plane between which ...
