Set agreement, where processors decisions constitute a set of outputs, is notoriously harder to analyze than consensus where the decisions are restricted to a single output. This ...
The Shifting Balance Genetic Algorithm (SBGA) is an extension of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) that was created to promote guided diversity to improve performance in highly multimodal...
This paper presents a study of parallel genetic algorithms (GAs) with multiple populations (also called demes or islands). The study makes explicit the relation between the probab...
This paper develops an algorithm to detect abnormalities of small animals' transplanted hearts in MRI, at early stage of rejection when the hearts do not display prominent ab...
This paper intends to show that the time needed to solve mixed integer programming problems by branch and bound can be roughly predicted early in the solution process. We construc...
