Abstract--In this paper, we investigate possible timecorrelation of answered call arrivals in sets of real GSM telephone traffic data. Instead of attempting to model the empirical ...
The paper addresses control related design issues for neutralization plants. Mainly for control reasons, the neutralization is usually performed in several steps (mixing tanks) wi...
Abstract. This paper presents two different efficiency-enhancement techniques for probabilistic model building genetic algorithms. The first technique proposes the use of a mutatio...
