Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
Genetic algorithms are heuristic search algorithm used in science, engineering and many other areas. They are powerful but slow because of their evolutionary nature that mimics th...
With the availability of large datasets in a variety of scientific and commercial domains, data mining has emerged as an important area within the last decade. Data mining techni...
— Many distributed multiple access (MAC) protocols use an exponential backoff mechanism. In that mechanism, a node picks a random backoff time uniformly in an interval that doubl...
