A general-purpose, simulation-based algorithm S-ACO for solving stochastic combinatorial optimization problems by means of the ant colony optimization (ACO) paradigm is investigate...
Given an undirected n-node graph and a set C of m cuts, the minimum crossing tree is a spanning tree which minimizes the maximum crossing of any cut in C, where the crossing of a c...
Abstract. Integrity constraints play a fundamental role in defining semantics in both conventional databases and in XML documents. In this paper we generalize previous approaches ...
