Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a paradigm that employs a set of cooperating agents to solve functions or obtain good solutions for combinatorial optimization problems. ...
The optimization of spacecraft trajectories can be formulated as a global optimization task. The complexity of the problem depends greatly on the problem formulation, on the spacec...
We propose a framework for intensity-based registration of images by linear transformations, based on a discrete Markov Random Field (MRF) formulation. Here, the challenge arises ...

Optimization with graph cuts became very popular in recent years. Progress in problems such as stereo correspondence, image segmentation, etc., can be attributed, in part, to the ...
Virtually every commercial query optimizer chooses the best plan for a query using a cost model that relies heavily on accurate cardinality estimation. Cardinality estimation erro...
