Scanning the Environment with Two Independent Cameras - Biologically Motivated Approach
— In this paper we present a novel method for visual scanning and target tracking by means of independent pan-tilt cameras which mimic the chameleon visual system. We present a s...

Optimal Anytime Constrained Simulated Annealing for Constrained Global Optimization
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...

Accurate statistics for local sequence alignment with position-dependent scoring by rare-event sampling
Background: Molecular database search tools need statistical models to assess the significance for the resulting hits. In the classical approach one asks the question how probable...
