Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
Although evolutionary algorithms (EAs) are widely used in practical optimization, their theoretical analysis is still in its infancy. Up to now results on the (expected) runtime ar...
Effective scheduling of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) requires managing the trade-off between multiple scheduling criteria including minimizing unscheduled time, angular m...
—In metabolic engineering it is difficult to identify which set of genetic manipulations will result in a microbial strain that achieves a desired production goal, due to the co...
A major cost in executing queries in a distributed database system is the data transfer cost incurred in transferring relations (fragments) accessed by a query from different sites...
