We present improved competitive on-line algorithms for the page replication problem and concentrate on important network topologies for which algorithms with a constant competitiv...
Abstract. This paper investigates the use of a steady state genetic algorithm (GA) to perform quadrilateral finite element mesh smoothing. GAS short for genetic algorithm smoother...
Abstract. A hybrid genetic algorithm is proposed for the sequential ordering problem. It is known that the performance of a genetic algorithm depends on the survival environment an...
Evolutionary algorithms (EAs) have been applied with success to many numerical and combinatorial optimization problems in recent years. However, they often lose their effectivenes...
We introduce a master–worker framework for parallel global optimization of computationally expensive functions using response surface models. In particular, we parallelize two r...
