Background: Feature selection is a pattern recognition approach to choose important variables according to some criteria in order to distinguish or explain certain phenomena (i.e....
Orienteering is the following optimization problem: given an edge-weighted graph (directed or undirected), two nodes s, t and a time limit T, find an s-t walk of total length at ...
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
We consider the restoration of piecewise constant images where the number of the regions and their values are not fixed in advance, with a good difference of piecewise constant val...

Several variations of nearest neighbor (NN) query have been investigated by the database community. However, realworld applications often result in the formulation of new variatio...
