This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Abstract. Traditional shortest path problems play a central role in both the design and use of communication networks and have been studied extensively. In this work, we consider a...
— The protein structure prediction (PSP) problem is one of the most important problems in computational biology. This paper proposes a novel Estimation of Distribution Algorithms...
Given two genomic maps G and H represented by a sequence of n gene markers, a strip (syntenic block) is a sequence of distinct markers of length at least two which appear as subseq...
Phase shifting mask (PSM) is a promising resolution enhancement technique, which is used in the deep sub-wavelength lithography of the VLSI fabrication process. However, applying ...
