Abstract- This paper presents a new operator for genetic algorithms that enhances their convergence in the case of nonlinear problems with nonlinear equality constraints. The propo...
Network Management Forum (NMF) has defined a set of basic business processes dealing with major TMN service management functions such as performance management, fault management, b...
We introduce tractable classes of VCSP instances based on convex cost functions. Firstly, we show that the class of VCSP instances satisfying the hierarchically nested convexity pr...
We consider the task of estimating, from observed data, a probabilistic model that is parameterized by a finite number of parameters. In particular, we are considering the situat...
We consider storage in an extremely large-scale distributed computer system designed for stream processing applications. In such systems, incoming data and intermediate results ma...
