Starting from some simple observations on a popular selection method in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs)--tournament selection--we highlight a previously-unknown source of inefficien...
In this paper we introduce and investigate a new" path optimization problem which we denote as the All Hops Optimal Path AHOP problem. The problem involves identifying, for a...
Visualizing software evolution is essential for identifying design erosions that have occurred over the past releases. Making evolutionary aspects explicit via visual representati...
In familiar design domains, expert designers are able to quickly focus on “good designs”, based on constraints they have learned while exploring the design space. This ability ...
Indexing and ranking are two key factors for efficient and effective XML information retrieval. Inappropriate indexing may result in false negatives and false positives, and impro...
