We introduce a problem that is a common generalization of the uncapacitated facility location (UFL) and minimum latency (ML) problems, where facilities not only need to be opened ...
In P2P systems, large volumes of data are declustered naturally across a large number of peers. But it is very difficult to control the initial data distribution because every use...
Abstract. Aggregation is an important building block of modern distributed applications, allowing the determination of meaningful properties (e.g. network size, total storage capac...
Memetic algorithms with continuous local search methods have arisen as effective tools to address the difficulty of obtaining reliable solutions of high precision for complex cont...
Query recommendation has been recognized as an important mean to help users search and also improve the usability of search engines. Existing approaches mainly focus on helping us...
