A key assumption of all problem-solving approaches based on utility theory, including heuristic search, is that we can assign a utility or cost to each state. This in turn require...
Declustering and replication are well known techniques used to improve response time of queries in parallel disk environments. As data replication incurs a penalty for updates, da...
This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
Many algorithms for processing probabilistic networks are dependent on the topological properties of the problem's structure. Such algorithmse.g., clustering, conditioning ar...
