Traffic congestion is one of the worst problems in many countries. Traffic congestion wastes a huge portion of the national income for fuel and traffic-related environmental and s...
This paper explores an approach to global, stochastic, simulation optimization which combines stochastic approximation (SA) with simulated annealing (SAN). SA directs a search of ...
Manufacturing test structures of microsensors and microactuators is very expensive in terms of time and materials. In a conventional design process, this limits the number of desi...
Advanced personalization of database applications is a big challenge, in particular for distributed mobile environments. We present several new results from a prototype of a route...
One of the surprising findings from the study of CNF satisfiability in the 1990's has been the success of iterative repair techniques, and in particular of weighted iterative...
