This paper presents three techniques for using an iterated local search algorithm to improve the performance of a state-of-the-art branch and bound algorithm for job shop scheduli...
Various problems in machine learning, databases, and statistics involve pairwise distances among a set of objects. It is often desirable for these distances to satisfy the propert...
Given a set P of n points in the plane, the two-circle point-labeling problem consists of placing 2n uniform, non-intersecting, maximum-size open circles such that each point touc...
We consider distributed estimation of a time-dependent, random state vector based on a generally nonlinear/non-Gaussian state-space model. The current state is sensed by a serial ...
—Web caching and replication techniques increase accessibility of Web contents and reduce Internet bandwidth requirements. In this paper, we are considering the replica placement...
