Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
We present a “black-box” approach to estimating query cardinality that has no knowledge of query execution plans and data distribution, yet provides accurate estimates. It doe...
In this paper, we present a stigmergy-based algorithm for solving optimization problems with continuous variables, labeled Differential Ant-Stigmergy Algorithm (DASA). The perfor...

In this work we evaluate a Particle Swarm Optimizer hybridized with Differential Evolution and apply it to the BlackBox Optimization Benchmarking for noiseless functions (BBOB 20...
