We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
To meet users’ growing needs for accessing pre-existing heterogeneous databases, a multidatabase system (MDBS) integrating multiple databases has attracted many researchers recen...
Magic sets rewriting is a well-known optimization heuristic for complex decision-support queries. There can be many variants of this rewriting even for a single query, which diffe...

—As mobile nodes roam in a wireless network, they continuously associate with different access points and perform handoff operations. However, these handoffs can potentially incu...

In this paper, we compare the (1+1)-CMA-ES to the (1+2s m)CMA-ES, a recently introduced quasi-random (1+2)-CMAES that uses mirroring as derandomization technique as well as a sequ...
