Complex representation in Genetic Algorithms and pattern in real problems limits the effect of crossover to construct better pattern from sporadic building blocks. Instead of intro...
In this paper, we give the first constant-approximations for a number of layered network design problems. We begin by modeling hierarchical caching, where caches are placed in la...
We investigate an inherent limitation of top-down decision tree induction in which the continuous partitioning of the instance space progressively lessens the statistical support o...
Consistent labelling problems frequently have more than one solution. Most work in the "eld has aimed at disambiguating early in the interpretation process, using only local ...
In the multilevel generalized assignment problem (MGAP) agents can perform tasks at more than one efficiency level. Important manufacturing problems, such as lot sizing, can be ea...
