An exact Markov chain model of the B-cell algorithm (BCA) is constructed via a novel possible transit method. The model is used to formulate a proof that the BCA is convergent abso...
Wind energy has an increasing influence on the energy supply in many countries, but in contrast to conventional power plants it is a fluctuating energy source. For its integration...
Supporting high availability by checkpointing and switching to a backup upon failure of a primary has a cost. Trade-off studies help system architects to decide whether higher ava...
In this paper we address the physical parallelization of a very efficient genetic algorithm (GA) known as gradual distributed real-coded GA (GD-RCGA). This search model naturally...
Abstract. Nearest-neighbor queries in high-dimensional space are of high importance in various applications, especially in content-based indexing of multimedia data. For an optimiz...
