Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

OFDM demodulation under fast fading radio channels is very computationally demanding, making the implementation of Software Defined Radio (SDR) solutions problematic. A suboptima...
Two of the attractions of search-based software engineering (SBSE) derive from the nature of the fitness functions used to guide the search. These have proved to be highly robust...
In this paper, we study efficient data collection for wireless sensor networks. We present efficient distributed algorithms with approximately the minimum delay, or the minimum mes...
This paper describes and analyzes sporadic model building, which can be used to enhance the efficiency of the hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) and other advance...
