Modern distributed information retrieval techniques require accurate knowledge of collection size. In non-cooperative environments, where detailed collection statistics are not av...
At every stage in physical design, engineers are faced with many different objectives and tools to develop, optimize, and evaluate their design. Each choice of a tool or an objec...
Mobile, battery-powered devices such as personal digital assistants and web-enabled mobile phones have successfully emerged as new access points to the world’s digital infrastru...
Routing protocols for wireless ad hoc networks have traditionally focused on finding paths with minimum hop count. However, such paths can include slow or lossy links, leading to...
This paper extends previous work showing how fluctuating crosstalk in a deterministic fitness function introduces noise into genetic algorithms. In that work, we modeled fluctuati...
