We present a memetic algorithm that dynamically optimizes the design of a wireless sensor network towards energy conservation and extension of the life span of the network, taking ...

This paper presents a novel vector quantizer (VQ) design algorithm for a burst error channel (BEC). The algorithm minimizes the average distortion when the BEC is in normal state o...
Differential evolution (DE) has emerged as one of the fast, robust, and efficient global search heuristics of current interest. This paper describes an application of DE to the aut...
This paper deals with pipelined queries over services. The execution plan of such queries defines an order in which the services are called. We present the theoretical underpinni...
A good decoding algorithm is critical to the success of any statistical machine translation system. The decoder's job is to find the translation that is most likely according...
