This paper studies the optimal placement of web files for en-route web caching. It is shown that existing placement policies are all solving restricted partial problems of the ...
— This paper is concerned with understanding the connection between the existing Internet congestion control algorithms and the optimal control theory. The available resource all...
Abstract— In this paper we consider the problem of optimizing over the switching times for a multi-modal dynamic system when the complete cost-to-go is not available. The instant...
The design of effective neighborhood structures is fundamentally important for creating better local search and metaheuristic algorithms for combinatorial optimization. Significant...
— The population-based incremental learning (PBIL) algorithm is a combination of evolutionary optimization and competitive learning. Recently, the PBIL algorithm has been applied...
