This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
Given a set of keywords, we find a maximum Web query (containing the most keywords possible) that respects userdefined bounds on the number of returned hits. We assume a real-world...
This paper analyzes theoretically the exact sampling distribution of the particle swarm optimization (PSO) without any assumption imposed by all current analyses. The distribution...
Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networks integrate autonomous computing resources without requiring a central coordinating authority, which makes them a potentially robust and scalabl...
The dominant method for evaluating search engines is the Cranfield paradigm, but the existing metrics do not consider some modern search engines features, such as document snippets...
