Finding binary sequences with low autocorrelation is a very hard problem with many practical applications. In this paper we analyze several metaheuristic approaches to tackle the ...
Selectivity estimation of queries not only provides useful information to the query processing optimization but also may give users a preview of processing results. In this paper,...
We consider a switch module routing problem for symmetric array FPGAs. The work is motivated by two applications. The rst is that of eciently evaluating switch module designs [8]...
When an evolutionary algorithm addresses a sequence of instances of the same problem, it can seed its population with solutions that it found for previous instances. This techniqu...
This paper describes a Parallel Space Decomposition (PSD) technique for the Mesh Adaptive Direct Search (MADS) algorithm. MADS extends Generalized Pattern Search for constrained n...
