In this paper, we initiate the study of the approximability of the facility location problem in a distributed setting. In particular, we explore a trade-off between the amount of...
Competent Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address problems in which the linkage between variables is limited to a small order k. Problems with higher order dependencies can onl...

Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) have been largely applied to optimisation and synthesis of controllers. In spite of several successful applications and competitive solutions, the st...
Robustness problems due to the substitution of the exact computation on real numbers by the rounded floating point arithmetic are often an obstacle to obtain practical implementa...
We present a graph-theoretic approach to discover storylines from search results. Storylines are windows that offer glimpses into interesting themes latent among the top search re...
