In this paper, we study novel Tree + IDREF data model for keyword search in XML. In this model, we propose novel Lowest Referred Ancestor (LRA) pair, Extended LRA (ELRA) pair and E...
This article describes applications of modern heuristic search methods to pattern sequencing problems, i.e., problems seeking for a permutation of the rows of a given matrix with r...
Evolutionary Algorithms’ (EAs’) application to real world optimization problems often involves expensive fitness function evaluation. Naturally this has a crippling effect on ...
Abstract. We describe a way to improve the performance of MDP planners by modifying them to use lower and upper bounds to eliminate non-optimal actions during their search. First, ...
Many information resources on the web are relevant primarily to limited geographical communities. For instance, web sites containing information on restaurants, theaters, and apar...
