Many techniques for improving search result quality have been proposed. Typically, these techniques increase average effectiveness by devising advanced ranking features and/or by...

Background: There are many data mining methods but few comparisons between them. For example, there are at least two ways to build quality optimizers, programs that find project o...
In this paper we introduce model-based search as a unifying framework accommodating some recently proposed metaheuristics for combinatorial optimization such as ant colony optimiza...

Abstract. A measure differential inclusion (MDI) based modeling approach for rigidbody mechanical systems will be introduced, that can exhibit autonomous or controlled mode transi...
An integrated optimization model of production plan and scheduling is introduced. Function objective is to minimize sum of total setup cost (initial setup cost and related setup c...
