This paper presents a novel approach to clustering using an accuracy-based Learning Classifier System. Our approach achieves this by exploiting the generalization mechanisms inher...
Abstract. In distributed computer networks where resources are under decentralized control, selfish users will generally not work towards one common goal, such as maximizing the o...
We study the problem of query optimization in federated relational database systems. The nature of federated databases explicitly decouples many aspects of the optimization proces...
This work describes a forward-looking approach for the solution of dynamic (time-changing) problems using evolutionary algorithms. The main idea of the proposed method is to combi...
This paper presents a formulation of the facilities block layout problem which explicitly considers uncertainty in material handling costs on a continuous scale by use of expected...
