Genetic algorithms (GAs) share a common weakness with most other metaheuristics: Candidate solutions are in general revisited multiple times, lowering diversity and wasting preciou...
In this paper, we present a method of rectilinear block packing using selected sequence-pair (SSP), a rectangle packing representation. We also propose a fast algorithm to obtain ...
In this paper, we study the Maximum lifetime Target Coverage problem (MTC), which is to maximize the network lifetime while guaranteeing the complete coverage of all the targets. ...
The cpquantile of an ordered sequenceof data values is the element with rank ‘pn, where n is the total number of values. Accurate estimates of quantiles are required for the sol...
We study the problem of designing truthful algorithms for scheduling a set of tasks, each one owned by a selfish agent, to a set of parallel (identical or unrelated) machines in or...
