It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
The Lexical Access Problem consists of determining the intended sequence of words corresponding to an input sequence of phonemes (basic speech sounds) that come from a low-level p...

We develop a novel framework for supporting e-Science applications that require streaming of information between sites. Using a Synchronous Dataflow (SDF) model, our framework inco...
We suggest a new heuristic for solving unconstrained continuous optimization problems. It is based on a generalized version of the variable neighborhood search metaheuristic. Diff...

In this paper, we examine a multi-period capacity expansion problem for a local access telecommunications network with a tree topology. Capacity expansion is realized through the ...
