In South-East Asia, huge swarms of fireflies synchronously emit light flashes to attract mating partners. The underlying principle can be used to implement a robust and scalable d...
Information systems (IS) and software engineering (SE) have shared the domain of systems and software development for several decades with too little overlap in practice and resea...
We address the problem of the combination of multiple data partitions, that we call a clustering ensemble. We use a recent clustering approach, known as Spectral Clustering, and th...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Experimental data show that biological synapses behave quite differently from the symbolic synapses in common artificial neural network models. Biological synapses are dynamic, i....
