Hypertree decomposition has been shown to be the most general CSP decomposition method. However, so far the exact methods are not able to find optimal hypertree decompositions of...
Markov decision processes (MDPs) with discrete and continuous state and action components can be solved efficiently by hybrid approximate linear programming (HALP). The main idea ...
Multi-tier architectures are widely used by internet applications. Guaranteeing the performance, and more generally the quality of service (QoS), of such applications remains a cr...
Abstract. Surface reconstruction from a set of noisy point measurements has been a well studied problem for several decades. Recently, variational and discrete optimization approac...
Differential evolution (DE) is well known as a simple and efficient scheme for global optimization over continuous spaces. In this paper we present two new, improved variants of D...
