Summative evaluation methods for supervised adaptive topic tracking systems convolve the effect of system decisions on present utility with the effect on future utility. This pa...
Differential evolution (DE) is well known as a simple and efficient scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces. In this paper we present two new, improved variants of D...
Power-performance optimization is a relatively new problem area particularly in the context of server clusters. Poweraware request distribution is a method of scheduling service r...
The performance of decoder-based evolutionary algorithms (EAs) strongly depends on the locality of the used decoder and operators. While many approaches to characterize locality ar...
Given an adequate simulation model of the task environment and payoff function that measures the quality of partially successful plans, competition-based heuristics such as geneti...
