Abstract. In many real-world applications of evolutionary computation, it is essential to reduce the number of fitness evaluations. To this end, computationally efficient models c...
In this paper we develop a model for random walk-based search mechanisms in unstructured P2P networks. This model is used to obtain analytical expressions for the performance metr...
Starting at the 65-nm node, stress engineering to improve the performance of transistors has been a major industry focus. An intrinsic stress source--shallow trench isolation (STI)...

Abstract. In this paper we conduct a comparative study between hybrid methods to optimize multilayer perceptrons: a model that optimizes the architecture and initial weights of mul...
The topological properties of a network directly impact the flow of information through a system. For example, in natural populations, the network of inter-individual contacts aff...
