Simulation optimization (SO) is the process of finding the optimum design of a system whose performance measure(s) are estimated via simulation. We propose some ideas to improve o...
Given a list of filtering rules with individual hitting probabilities, it is known that the average processing time of a linear-search based firewall can be minimized by searchi...
Opening up large amounts of loosely structured information for easy access and use is a complex problem. This paper describes two systems that address different aspects of the pro...
The large unstructured text collections demand full-text search capabilities from IR systems. Current systems typically allow users only to connect to a single database (or site) ...
We present IGAP, a peer to peer interactive genetic algorithm which reflects the real world methodology followed in team design. We apply our methodology to floorplanning. Throu...
