The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
Adaptive operator scheduling algorithms for continuous query processing are usually designed to serve a single performance objective, such as minimizing memory usage or maximizing...

Quantum evolutionary algorithm (QEA) is proposed on the basis of the concept and principles of quantum computing, which is a classical metaheuristic algorithm for the approximate s...
The Chord algorithm is a popular, simple method for the succinct approximation of curves, which is widely used, under different names, in a variety of areas, such as, multiobjecti...
Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
