Many real-world search and optimization problems naturally involve constraint handling. Recently, quite a few heuristic methods were proposed to solve the nonlinear constrained op...
The problem of identifying approximately duplicate objects in databases is an essential step for the information integration process. Most existing approaches have relied on gener...
HDPS is a practical system for designing modeling paradigms, creating hierarchal model definitions, and evaluating multi-paradigm models - particularly in business and finance. HD...
