The dynamic behavior of a network in which information is changing continuously over time requires robust and efficient mechanisms for keeping nodes updated about new information. ...
A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
Using a directed mutation can improve the efficiency of processing many optimization problems. The first mutation operators of this kind proposed by Hildebrand [1], however, suffer...
Background: Cluster analysis has been widely applied for investigating structure in bio-molecular data. A drawback of most clustering algorithms is that they cannot automatically ...
