We present a simulation model used to evaluate a distributed search engine by modelling its performance. The model is designed to aid performance-driven evolution of the system. W...

We present a new random search method for solving simulation optimization problems. Our approach emphasizes the need for maintaining the right balance between exploration and expl...
Abstract: Parallel heuristic search algorithms are widely used in artificial intelligence. This paper describes novel parallel variants of two standard sequential search algorithms...
In this paper we consider the problem of efficiently producing results for full-text keyword search queries over XML documents. We describe full-text search query semantics and pr...
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...
