Robotics deployed in the underwater medium are subject to stringent operational conditions that impose a high degree of criticality on the allocation of resources and the schedule of operations in mission planning. In this ...

The advent of the so-called Big Data paradigm has motivated a flurry of research aimed at enhancing machine learning models by following very di- verse approaches. In this context this work focuses on the automatic con- ...

The problem of partitioning a data set into disjoint groups or clusters of related items plays a key role in data analytics, in particular when the information retrieval becomes crucial for further data analysis. In this ...

In this paper a modified version of the Harmony Search al- gorithm is proposed as a novel tool for phase swapping in Low Voltage Distribution Networks where the objective is to determine to which phase each load should be ...

This paper explores the feasibility of a particular implemen- tation of a Grouping Harmony Search (GHS) algorithm to assign re- sources (codes, aggregate capacity, power) to users in Wide-band Code Division Multiple Access ...

This paper proposes to improve the efficiency of the deploy- ment of wireless network infrastructure for massive data collection from vehicles over regional areas. The increase in the devices that are carried by vehicles ...
