In this paper, the dynamic multi-swarm particle swarm optimizer (DMS-PSO) and a sub-regional harmony search (SHS) are hybridized to obtain DMS-PSO-SHS. A Modified multi-trajectory ...
This report outlines our participation in CLEF-IP's 2009 prior art search task. In the task's initial year our focus lay on the automatic generation of effective queries...
This paper proposes a cache hierarchy that enables Web search engines to efficiently process user queries. The different caches in the hierarchy are used to store pieces of data w...
We first present a method, called Two-Phase Pareto Local Search, to find a good approximation of the efficient set of the biobjective traveling salesman problem. In the first p...
We develop a variant of the Nelder-Mead (NM) simplex search procedure for stochastic simulation optimization that is designed to avoid many of the weaknesses encumbering such dire...
