A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
- This paper demonstrates that simple yet important characteristics of coevolution can occur in evolutionary algorithms when only a few conditions are met. We find that interaction...
Academic literature has documented for a long time the existence of important price gains in the first trading day of initial public offerings (IPOs). Most of the empirical analys...
The ideas proposed in this work are aimed to describe a novel approach based on artificial life (alife) environments for on-line adaptive optimisation of dynamical systems. The bas...

We study the combinatorial optimization task of choosing the smoothest map from a given family of maps, which is motivated from motor control unit calibration. The problem is of a ...
