Abstract. With computer networks spreading into a variety of new environments, the need to authenticate and secure communication grows. Many of these new environments have particul...
This paper presents a line of research in genetic algorithms (GAs), called building-block identification. The building blocks (BBs) are common structures inferred from a set of sol...
Motivated by applications in batch scheduling of jobs in manufacturing systems and distributed computing, we study two related problems. Given is a set of jobs {J1, . . . , Jn}, w...
Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
We describe a new approach for understanding the difficulty of designing efficient learning algorithms. We prove that the existence of an efficient learning algorithm for a circui...
