This paper deals with performance evaluation of rasterto-vector conversion algorithms. We briefly review the past work, and focus our attention on a method proposed by Phillips a...
This paper introduces a new optimization technique called hyperplane annealing. It is similar to the mean field annealing approach to combinatorial optimization. Both annealing te...
Network-analysis literature is rich in node-centrality measures that quantify the centrality of a node as a function of the (shortest) paths of the network that go through it. Exi...
Artificial Immune System algorithms use antibodies which fully specify the solution of an optimization, learning, or pattern recognition problem. By being restricted to fully spec...
The Web proxy cache placement problem is often formulated as a classical optimization problem: place N proxies within an internetwork so as to minimize the average user response t...
