Studies in [7,8, 91 concluded that for a variety of reasons, optimistic concurrency control appears well-suited to real-time database systems. Especially, they showed that in a re...
Metaheuristics have often been shown to be effective for difficult combinatorial optimization problems. The reason for that, however, remains unclear. A framework for a theory of ...
Mini-Bucket Elimination (MBE) is a well-known approximation algorithm deriving lower and upper bounds on quantities of interest over graphical models. It relies on a procedure tha...
This paper demonstrates the effectiveness of genetic algorithms in training stable behavior in a model of the spinoneuromuscular system (SNMS). In particular, we test the stabili...
It is frequently remarked that designers of computer vision algorithms and systems cannot reliably predict how algorithms will respond to new problems. A variety of reasons have b...
