Most image retrieval systems perform a linear search over the database to find the closest match to a query. However, databases usually exhibit a natural grouping structure into c...
In many retrieval tasks, one important goal involves retrieving a diverse set of results (e.g., documents covering a wide range of topics for a search query). First of all, this r...
This paper presents a structured P2P overlay SCAN that augments CAN overlay with long links based on Kleinberg's small-world model in a d-dimensional Cartesian space. The con...
When using a constructive search algorithm, solutions to scheduling problems such as the job shop and open shop scheduling problems are typically represented as permutations of the...
In this paper, we propose a simple genetic algorithm for finding the optimal conformation of a protein using the three-dimensional square HP model. A backtracking procedure is use...
