Hybrid algorithms that combine genetic algorithms with the Nelder-Mead simplex algorithm have been effective in solving certain optimization problems. In this article, we apply a s...

The objective of query optimizers is to select a good execution plan for a given query. In a distributed system, it is crucial for a query optimizer to have effective remote cost e...
One has a large workload that is “divisible” (its constituent work’s granularity can be adjusted arbitrarily) and one has access to p remote computers that can assist in comp...

This paper contains two contributions to very-low-bitrate video coding. First, we show that in contrast to common practice incremental techniques for rate-distortion optimization ...
This paper describes our study into the concept of using rewards in a classifier system applied to the acquisition of decision-making algorithms for agents in a soccer game. Our a...
