For a static array A of n totally ordered objects, a range minimum query asks for the position of the minimum between two specified array indices. We show how to preprocess A into...
Several activities related to semantically annotated resources can be enabled by a notion of similarity, spanning from clustering to retrieval, matchmaking and other forms of induc...
Abstract. The paper describes an evolutionary algorithm for the general nonlinear programming problem using a surrogate model. Surrogate models are used in optimization when model ...
— Important theoretical aspects of multi-robot coordination mechanisms have, to date, been largely ignored. To address part of this negligence, we focus on the problem of multi-r...
