A lot of research has been conducted by the database community on methods and techniques for efficient XPath processing, with great success. Despite the progress made, significant...
For half a century since computers came into existence, the goal of finding elegant and efficient algorithms to solve "simple" (welldefined and well-structured) problems ...
This paper introduces a new algorithm, Q2, foroptimizingthe expected output ofamultiinput noisy continuous function. Q2 is designed to need only a few experiments, it avoids stron...

Abstract. Motivated by parallel optimization, we study the SelfAdaptation algorithm for large population sizes. We first show that the current version of this algorithm does not r...
Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have been proposed as a very powerful heuristic optimization technique to solve complex problems. Many case studies have shown that they work very eff...
