This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
In many real-world design problems, uncertainties are often present and practically impossible to avoid. Many existing works on Evolutionary Algorithm (EA) for handling uncertaint...
Diversity has been heavily motivated in the information retrieval literature as an objective criterion for result sets in search and recommender systems. Perhaps one of the most w...
We consider the problem of improving the performance of web access by proposing a reconstruction of the internal link structure of a web site in order to match the quality of the ...
