We present an improved sweep metaheuristic for discrete event simulation optimization. The sweep algorithm is a tree search similar to beam search. The basic idea is to run a limi...
Recently, a number of works have been done on how to use Genetic Algorithms to solve the Portfolio Optimization problem, which is an instance of the Resource Allocation problem cl...
Evolutionary Algorithms’ (EAs’) application to real world optimization problems often involves expensive fitness function evaluation. Naturally this has a crippling effect on ...
We propose and analyze a scalable and efficient region-based group key management protocol for secure group communications in mobile ad hoc networks. For scalability and dynamic r...
