In this paper we deal with the problem of feature selection by introducing a new approach based on Gravitational Search Algorithm (GSA). The proposed algorithm combines the optimi...
Traditionally, optimizers are “programmed” to optimize queries following a set of buildin procedures. However, optimizers should be robust to its changing environment to gener...
Abstract We propose a new Memetic Particle Swarm Optimization scheme that incorporates local search techniques in the standard Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, resulting in a...

—The goal of the Web Service Composition (WSC) problem is to find an optimal composition of web services to satisfy a given request using their syntactic and/or semantic feature...
In this paper we present a new method for quasiexact optimization of BDDs using relaxed ordered best-first search. This general method is applied to BDD minimization. In contrast...
