— Serious efforts to develop computerized systems for natural language understanding and machine translation have taken place for more than half a century. Some successful system...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
Domain-specific modeling has become a popular way of designing and developing systems. It generally involves a systematic use of a set of object-oriented models to represent vari...
— We present a robot localization system using biologically-inspired vision. Our system models two extensively studied human visual capabilities: (1) extracting the “gist” of...
