In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
For an increasing number of modern database applications, efficient support of similarity search becomes an important task. Along with the complexity of the objects such as images...
The last few years, users want various services that fit their needs and preferences. Many services are provided at network edges and are increasing in number. The open framework i...
In an evolutionary algorithm, the population has a very important role as its size has direct implications regarding solution quality, speed, and reliability. Theoretical studies ...
