This paper details a technique, called inter-block backtracking (IBB), which improves interval solving of decomposed systems with non-linear equations over the reals. This techniqu...
Abstract. There are conflicting reports over whether multiple independent runs of genetic algorithms (GAs) with small populations can reach solutions of higher quality or can fin...
Abstract. To improve the efficiency of the currently known evolutionary algorithms, we have proposed two complementary efficiency speed-up strategies in our previous research work ...
We develop an improved cost function to be used in simulated annealing followed by hill-climbing to find Boolean functions satisfying multiple desirable criteria such as high nonli...
This paper presents an approach to answering queries over an ontology modelled using a description logic. The ontology acts as a global schema, providing a declarative description...
