— Moments are generic (and usually intuitive) descriptors that can be computed from several kinds of objects defined either from closed contours or from a set of points. In this...
In this paper we describe a multi-objective problem solving approach, simultaneously minimizing average surface roughness Ra and build Time T, for object manufacturing by Rapid Pr...
Genetic algorithms (GAs) have recently become very popular by solving combinatorial optimization problems. In this paper, we propose an extension of the hybrid genetic algorithm f...
The development of a distributed database systemrequires effective solutions to many complex and interrelated design problems. The cost dependenciesbetween query optimization and ...
We explore the relationship between properties of the network defined by connected agents and the global system performance. This is achieved by means of a novel class of optimiza...
