Modern servers access large volumes of data while running commercial workloads. The data is typically spread among several storage devices (e.g. disks). Carefully placing the data...
A key feature in population based optimization algorithms is the ability to explore a search space and make a decision based on multiple solutions. In this paper, an incremental le...
Abstract. We address the problem of continuous stochastic optimal control in the presence of hard obstacles. Due to the non-smooth character of the obstacles, the traditional appro...
We show how and why using genetic operators that are applied with probabilities that depend on the fitness rank of a genotype or phenotype offers a robust alternative to the Sim...
