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...
Abstract--This paper contains a modern vision of the parallelization techniques used for evolutionary algorithms (EAs). The work is motivated by two fundamental facts: first, the d...
— This work addresses the problem of building representative subsets of benchmarks from an original large set of benchmarks, using statistical analysis techniques. The subsets sh...

The focus of this paper is on how to design evolutionary algorithms (EAs) for solving stochastic dynamic optimization problems online, i.e. as time goes by. For a proper design, t...
Abstract. We present an island model that uses different representations in each island. The model transforms individuals from one representation to another during migrations. We ...
