— This work presents a methodology for the application of a parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) to the problem of protein folding prediction, using the 3DHP-Side Chain model. This m...
In this paper we show how the classical job-shop scheduling problem can be modeled as a special class of acyclic timed automata. Finding an optimal schedule corresponds, then, to n...
This work studies the edge-based representation of directed acyclic graphs, as well as the properties of recombination operators working on it. It is shown that this representation...
Abstract. This paper proposes a general local learning framework to effectively alleviate the complexities of classifier design by means of “divide and conquer” principle and ...
The need for high precision robotic systems has increased in recent years. Examples include automated assembly of complex electro-mechanical products such as disk drives, cameras,...
