Cellular telephony systems, where locations of mobile users are unknown at some times, are becoming more common. In such systems, mobile users are roaming in a zone and a user repo...
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
In this paper, we develop a model for representing term dependence based on Markov Random Fields and present an approach based on Markov Chain Monte Carlo technique for generating ...
In this paper, we introduce DLS-MC, a new stochastic local search algorithm for the maximum clique problem. DLS-MC alternates between phases of iterative improvement, during which...
We describe a substring search problem that arises in group presentation simplification processes. We suggest a two-level searching model: skip and match levels. We give two timest...
