A heuristic technique that combines a genetic algorithm with a Tabu Search algorithm is applied to the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The hybrid algorithm improves the result...
Multi Agent Based Simulation (MABS) has been used mostly in purely social contexts. However, compared to other approaches, e.g., traditional discrete event simulation, object-orien...
In this paper we propose to extend the current capabilities of automated reasoning systems by making use of techniques from integer programming. We describe the architecture of an ...
Handwritten text is generally captured through two main modalities: off-line and on-line. Smart approaches to handwritten text recognition (HTR) may take advantage of both modalit...
We explore the problem of secret-key distribution in unidirectional channels, those in which a sender transmits information blindly to a receiver. We consider two approaches: (1) ...
