— One of the central issues in Learning to Rank (L2R) for Information Retrieval is to develop algorithms that construct ranking models by directly optimizing evaluation measures ...
An algorithm for time division multiple access (TDMA) is desirable in sensor networks for energy management, as it allows a sensor to reduce the amount of idle listening. Also, TD...
Data locality and synchronization overhead are two important factors that affect the performance of applications on multiprocessors. Loop fusion is an effective way for reducing s...

Single-assignment languages with copy semantics have a very simple and approachable programming model. A na¨ıve implementation of the copy semantics that copies the result of eve...
Many metaheuristics have difficulty exploring their search space comprehensively. Exploration time and efficiency are highly dependent on the size and the ruggedness of the search...
