In this paper we describe novel techniques that make it possible to build an industrial-strength tool for automating the choice of indexes in the physical design of a SQL database...
The matrix chain ordering problem is to find the cheapest way to multiply a chain of n matrices, where the matrices are pairwise compatible but of varying dimensions. Here we give ...

Calibrating the parameters of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is a laborious task. The highly stochastic nature of an EA typically leads to a high variance of the measurements. The ...
Using beam forming antennas in ad hoc networks have been recently focused on, in order to improve the space reuse. This news context implies to revisit network algorithms because t...
