This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
Requirements elicitation involves the construction of large sets of conceptual models. An important step in the analysis of these models is checking their consistency. Existing re...
A stochastic global optimization approach is presented for transistor sizing in CMOS VLSI circuits. This is a direct search strategy for the best design among feasible ones, with ...
Deformable models are by their formulation able to solve surface extraction problem from noisy volumetric image data encountered commonly in medical image analysis. However, this ...
