Metaheuristics represent an important class of techniques to solve, approximately, hard combinatorial optimization problems for which the use of exact methods is impractical. In t...

Background: Temporal gene expression profiles characterize the time-dynamics of expression of specific genes and are increasingly collected in current gene expression experiments....
Accurate prediction of operator execution time is a prerequisite for database query optimization. Although extensively studied for conventional disk-based DBMSs, cost modeling in ...

—Object-oriented software quality models usually use metrics of classes and of relationships among classes to assess the quality of systems. However, software quality does not de...
Background: Data clustering is a powerful technique for identifying data with similar characteristics, such as genes with similar expression patterns. However, not all implementat...
