Existing index selection tools rely on heuristics to efficiently search within the large space of alternative solutions and to minimize the overhead of using the query optimizer ...
For problems where the evaluation of an individual is the dominant factor in the total computation time of the evolutionary process, minimizing the number of evaluations becomes cr...
This paper presents an original algorithm for the computation of optical ow called Orthogonal Dynamic Programming (ODP) as well as several enhancements to it. The principle is to ...
We study an iterative cutting-plane algorithm on an integer program, for minimizing the staffing costs of a multiskill call center subject to service-level requirements which are e...
In this paper, we address the rate control problem for layered multicast traffic, with the objective of solving a generalized throughput/fairness objective. Our approach is based o...
