An important problem in distributed systems is to detect termination of a distributed computation. A computation is said to have terminated when all processes have become passive a...
: This paper presents a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, Tabu Search (TS), and describes how it can be used to solve a wide variety of chemical engineering problems. Modifica...
AbstractEvolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have been used to achieve optimal feedforward control in a number of fedbatch fermentation processes. Typically, the optimization purpose is t...
: We adapt a combinatorial optimization algorithm, extremal optimization (EO), for the search problem in computational protein design. This algorithm takes advantage of the knowled...
In this paper, we prove polynomial running time bounds for an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithm for the single-destination shortest path problem on directed acyclic graphs. ...
