— Energy of Wheeled Mobile Robot (WMR) is usually supplied by batteries with finite energy. In order to extend run-time of battery-powered WMR, it is necessary to minimize the e...
Network based intruders seldom attack directly from their own hosts, but rather stage their attacks through intermediate “stepping stones” to conceal their identity and origin...
Genetic algorithms are adaptive methods based on natural evolution that may be used for search and optimization problems. They process a population of search space solutions with t...
Using a directed mutation can improve the efficiency of processing many optimization problems. The first mutation operators of this kind proposed by Hildebrand [1], however, suffer...
Online transaction processing (OLTP) is a multibillion dollar industry with high-end database servers employing state-of-the-art processors to maximize performance. Unfortunately,...
