: Recent work on social networks has tackled the measurement and optimization of these networks’ robustness and resilience to both failures and attacks. Different metrics have be...
In this paper, we address the problem of optimal synthesis of an integrated water system, where water using processes and water treatment operations are combined into a single net...
This paper presents a statistical model for textures that uses a non-negative decomposition on a set of local atoms learned from an exemplar. This model is described by the varianc...
In order to supply a growing tissue with oxygen and nutrients and to remove its metabolic wastes, blood vessels penetrating the tissue are formed. Multiple mechanisms are involved ...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
