One of the main reasons for using parallel evolutionary algorithms (PEAs) is to obtain efficient algorithms with an execution time much lower than that of their sequential counter...
: In a database with categorical attributes, each attribute defines a partition whose classes can be regarded as natural clusters of rows. In this paper we focus on finding a parti...
— Invasive Weed Optimization Algorithm IWO) is an ecologically inspired metaheuristic that mimics the process of weeds colonization and distribution and is capable of solving mul...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
The population size in evolutionary computation is a significant parameter affecting computational effort and the ability to successfully evolve solutions. We find that population...
