We study the problem of continuous monitoring of top-k queries over multiple non-synchronized streams. Assuming a sliding window model, this general problem has been a well addres...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
