Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
Given a list of filtering rules with individual hitting probabilities, it is known that the average processing time of a linear-search based firewall can be minimized by searchi...
We study the real algorithm for the point-to-point shortest path problem. It combines A∗ search search, landmark-based lower bounds, and reach-based pruning. We suggest several ...

We show in this paper that the influential algorithm of iterative belief propagation can be understood in terms of exact inference on a polytree, which results from deleting enoug...
We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
