With power-related concerns becoming dominant aspects of hardware and software design, significant research effort has been devoted towards system power minimization. Among run-t...
The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
Abstract. The classic NFL theorems are invariably cast in terms of single objective optimization problems. We confirm that the classic NFL theorem holds for general multiobjective ...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a hybrid genetic algorithm for partitioning a VLSI circuit graph into two disjoint graphs of minimum cut size. The algorithm includes a local op...
Parameterizations of triangulated surfaces are used in an increasing number of mesh processing applications for various purposes. Although demands vary, they are often required to...
