As communication and I/O traffic increase on the interconnection network of high-performance systems, network contention becomes a critical problem drastically reducing performan...
This paper presents two variants of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) for solving the Multiple Container Packing Problem (MCPP), which is a combinatorial optimization problem comprising sim...
Query-independent features (also called document priors), such as the number of incoming links to a document, its Page-Rank, or the type of its associated URL, have been successfu...
Multidimensional Analysis in On-Line Analytical Processing (OLAP), and Scientific and statistical databases (SSDB) use operations requiring summary information on multi-dimensiona...
Statistical selection procedures can identify the best of a finite set of alternatives, where “best” is defined in terms of the unknown expected value of each alternative’...
