In this paper we compare the average performance of Monte Carlo methods for global optimization with non-adaptive deterministic alternatives. We analyze the behavior of the algori...
This paper presents a needle-tissue interaction model that is a 3D extension of a prior work based on the finite element method. The model is also adapted to accommodate arbitrary ...

—When SA is applied to continuous optimization problems, the design of the neighborhood used in SA becomes important. A lot of experiments are necessary to determine an appropria...
Abstract. Continuous spatial queries retrieve a set of time-varying objects continuously during a given period of time. However, monitoring moving objects to maintain the correctne...
Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
