We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
The need to improve a suboptimal execution plan picked by the query optimizer for a repeatedly run SQL query arises routinely. Complex expressions, skewed or correlated data, and ...
Ranking is an important property that needs to be fully supported by current relational query engines. Recently, several rank-join query operators have been proposed based on rank...

Abstract—Consider a communications system where the detector generates a mix of hard and soft outputs, which are then fed into a soft-input channel decoder. In such a setting, it...

We focus on the handling of overlapping solutions in evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO) algorithms. First we show that there exist a large number of overlapping soluti...
