Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
The ability to find services or resources that satisfy some criteria is an important aspect of distributed systems. This paper presents an event-based architecture to support more...
Formula One motor racing is a rich sport that spends millions on research and development of highly optimized cars. Here we describe the use of a genetic algorithm to optimize 66 s...
In this paper we propose a new declustering method which is particularly suitable for image and cartographic databases used for visualization. Our declustering method is based on ...
Solving optimally large instances of combinatorial optimization problems requires a huge amount of computational resources. In this paper, we propose an adaptation of the parallel...
