In this paper, we deal with the problem of determining the best possible physical implementation of an ETL workflow, given its logical-level description and an appropriate cost mo...
Cooperative coevolution is often used to solve difficult optimization problems by means of problem decomposition. Its performance on this task is influenced by many design decisio...
The Cross-Entropy (CE) method is a modern and effective optimization method well suited to parallel implementations. There is a vast array of problems today, some of which are hig...

We consider the problem of learning to attain multiple goals in a dynamic environment, which is initially unknown. In addition, the environment may contain arbitrarily varying ele...
Maximum satisfiability (Max-SAT) is more general and more difficult to solve than satisfiability (SAT). In this paper, we first investigate the effectiveness of Walksat, one of th...
