— We present a new representation for individuals in problems that have cyclic permutations as solutions. To demonstrate its usefulness, we analyze a simple randomized local sear...
We are interested by contributing to stochastic problems of which the main distinction is that some tasks may create other tasks. In particular, we present a first approach which...
Optimizing power consumption at high-level is a critical step towards power-efficient digital system designs. This paper addresses the power management problem by scheduling a giv...
The high quality, structured data from Web structured sources is invaluable for many applications. Hidden Web databases are not directly crawlable by Web search engines and are on...
We present a general approximation technique for a large class of graph problems. Our technique mostly applies to problems of covering, at minimum cost, the vertices of a graph wit...
