Simulation optimization is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for simulation practitioners. Simulation optimization is the practice of linking an optimization method with a simula...
Bacterial foraging optimization algorithm (BFOA) has been widely accepted as a global optimization algorithm of current interest for distributed optimization and control. BFOA is i...
Abstract. This work compares different metaheuristics techniques applied to an important problem in natural language: tagging. Tagging amounts to assigning to each word in a text ...
Methods for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) have emerged as key techniques for distributed reasoning. Yet, their application faces significant hurdles...
Abstract— In this paper, we investigate the application of nonbinary low density parity check (LDPC) codes over Galois field GF(q) for both single-input single-output (SISO) and...
