A key feature of modern optimal planners such as Graphplan and Blackbox is their ability to prune large parts of the search space. Previous Partial Order Causal Link (POCL) planne...
In this Chapter we present the modification of a Differential Evolution algorithm to solve constrained optimization problems. The changes include a deterministic and a self-adapti...
Today, several data-storage systems allow applications to create and manage custom metadata to improve data search and navigability in large-scale storage systems. Our thesis is t...
Abstract— This paper presents a comparison of four bioinspired algorithms (all seen as search engines) with a similar constraint-handling mechanism (Deb’s feasibility rules) to...
— Traditional Physical Carrier Sensing (PCS), which aims at eliminating hidden terminals in wireless networks, causes too many exposed terminals and deteriorates the throughput p...
