Abstract. The parameter-less hierarchical Bayesian optimization algorithm (hBOA) enables the use of hBOA without the need for tuning parameters for solving each problem instance. T...
In recent years, interval constraint-based solvers have shown their ability to efficiently solve challenging non-linear real constraint problems. However, most of the working syst...
Simulated annealing is a general optimisation algorithm, based on hill-climbing. As in hill-climbing, new candidate solutions are selected from the ‘neighbourhood’ of the curre...

Multiple description coding (MDC) is source coding for multiple channels such that a decoder which receives an arbitrary subset of the channels may produce a useful reconstruction...
Because radio waves decay rapidly in sea water, acoustic communication is the most popular choic for underwater sensor networks. However, since the propagation speed of acoustic w...
