The goal of our investigation is to find automatically the absolutely best rule for a moving creature in a cellular field. The task of the creature is to visit all empty cells wi...
Firewalls/NATs have brought significant connectivity problems along with their benefits, causing many applications to break or become inefficient. Due to its bi-directional commun...
Memetic algorithms have become to gain increasingly important for solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems. Typically, the extent of the application of local search...
Many network applications that need to distribute content and data to a large number of clients use a hybrid scheme in which one (or more) multicast channel is used in parallel to...
We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
