— In this paper, we address a sensor network lifetime problem that maintains a certain throughput in an environment where physical node destruction is possible. While lifetime is...

The problem of nding the best answers to a query quickly, rather than nding all answers, is of increasing importance as relational databases are applied in multimedia and decision...
In this paper, we describe how a genetic algorithm approach added to a simulated annealing (SA) process offers a better alternative to find the mean variance frontier in the portf...

In this paper we introduce a novel optimization framework for hierarchical data clustering and apply it to the problem of unsupervised texture segmentation. The proposed objective...
