Derandomization by means of mirroring has been recently introduced to enhance the performances of (1, λ)-EvolutionStrategies (ESs) with the aim of designing fast robust local sea...
We discuss the computational complexity of random 2D Ising spin glasses, which represent an interesting class of constraint satisfaction problems for black box optimization. Two ex...

Manually tuning tens to hundreds of configuration parameters in a complex software system like a database or an application server is an arduous task. Recent work has looked into ...
The link structure of the Web graph is used in algorithms such as Kleinberg’s HITS and Google’s PageRank to assign authoritative weights to Web pages and thus rank them. Both ...
