This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
Real-coded Adaptive Range Genetic Algorithms (ARGAs) have been applied to a practical three-dimensional shape optimization for aerodynamic design of an aircraft wing. The real-code...
This paper deals with a realistic variant of flowshop scheduling, namely the hybrid flexible flowshop. A hybrid flowshop mixes the characteristics of regular flowshops and paralle...
Local search techniques have been applied in optimization methods. The effect of local search to the memetic algorithms can make multimodal and non-linear problems easier to solve...
An optimal prefetching and I/O scheduling algorithm L-OPT, for parallel I/O systems, using a read-once model of block references is presented. The algorithm uses knowledge of the n...
