GRASP (Greedy Randomized Adaptive Search Procedures) is a multistart metaheuristic for producing good-quality solutions of combinatorial optimization problems. Each GRASP iteration...
MERIT (Multimedia Extensions of Retrieval Interaction Tools)1 provides a user-centered interface to a database covering European research programs, projects, and consortia in the ...
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...
This paper focuses on parallel query optimization. We consider the operator problem and introduce a new class of execution strategies called Linear-Oriented Bushy Trees (LBTs). Co...
Background: In proteomics experiments, database-search programs are the method of choice for protein identification from tandem mass spectra. As amino acid sequence databases grow...
