Low-Complexity Regions (LCRs) of biological sequences are the main source of false positives in similarity searches for biological sequence databases. We consider the problem of ļ...
Planning is an artiļ¬cial intelligence problem with a wide range of real-world applications. Genetic algorithms, neural networks, and simulated annealing are heuristic search met...

A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
We present a new class of randomized approximation algorithms for unrelated parallel machine scheduling problems with the average weighted completion time objective. The key idea i...
Declustering techniques reduce query response time through parallel I/O by distributing data among multiple devices. Except for a few cases it is not possible to ļ¬nd declusterin...
