Ranking microblogs, such as tweets, as search results for a query is challenging, among other things because of the sheer amount of microblogs that are being generated in real time...
In this paper, we present the parallelization of tabu search on a network of workstations using PVM. Two parallelization strategies are integrated: functional decomposition strate...

1 The unstructured Peer-to-Peer (P2P) systems usually use a “blind search” method to find the requested data object by propagating a query to a number of peers randomly. In or...
Hybrid algorithms combining local and systematic search often use nondeterminism in fundamentally different ways. They may differ in the strategy to explore the search tree and/o...
