Hiding communication latency is an important optimization for parallel programs. Programmers or compilers achieve this by using non-blocking communication primitives and overlappi...
Multiprocessor task scheduling is an important and computationally difficult problem. This paper proposes a comparison study of genetic algorithm and list scheduling algorithm. Bo...
Geographic web search engines allow users to constrain and order search results in an intuitive manner by focusing a query on a particular geographic region. Geographic search tec...
We apply Monte Carlo simulation and alpha-beta search to the card game of Skat, which is similar to Bridge, but different enough to require some new algorithmic ideas besides the t...
An important class of heuristics for constraint satisfaction problems works by sampling information during search in order to inform subsequent decisions. One of these strategies, ...
