This paper introduces Dafo, a new multi-agent framework for evolutionary optimization relying on a competitive coevolutionary genetic algorithm, aka LCGA (Loosely Coupled Genetic A...
We formulate a fuzzy perceptive model for Markov decision processes with discounted payoff in which the perception for transition probabilities is described by fuzzy sets. Our aim...
Traditional multiple query optimization methods focus on identifying common subexpressions in sets of relational queries and on constructing their global execution plans. In this p...
In this paper we propose a cultural algorithm, where different knowledge sources modify the variation operator of a differential evolution algorithm. Differential evolution is u...
Preference queries are relational algebra or SQL queries that contain occurrences of the winnow operator (find the most preferred tuples in a given relation). We present here a nu...
