— Our theoretical understanding of island models (IMs) is much worse than of single-population evolutionary algorithms (EAs). As a consequence there is relatively little guidance...
— This work addresses the problem of selecting a subset of basis functions for a model linear in the parameters for regression tasks. Basis functions from a set of candidates are...
Abstract. Automatically choosing suitable native storage structures for XML documents arriving at the XML DBMS is a challenging task for its storage manager. While some of the crit...
Using conditional promises, the reliability of promises can be measured without considering the reliability of the whole agent, by defining notions of when conditions operate and ...
Running several sub-optimal algorithms and choosing the optimal one is a common procedure in computer science, most notably in the design of approximation algorithms. This paper d...
