In this paper we propose a cultural algorithm, where different knowledge sources modify the variation operator of a differential evolution algorithm. Differential evolution is u...
: In this paper, we present and analyze three different algorithms for the evaluation of rare event simulation results. They are loosely based on the AAc method, which in turn is a...
Neural networks and the Kriging method are compared for constructing £tness approximation models in evolutionary optimization algorithms. The two models are applied in an identica...
In this paper, we introduce a tile-graph-based approach to power planning. For a given flooplan solution, the power inputs are modeled into a tile graph, the minimum capacity of e...
During summer 2002, we ran a workshop module for a group of 28 eighth-grade girls. Our aim was ambitious: to introduce these students, ages 12 and 13, to computer science by focus...
