This paper describes a novel implementation of the Simulated Annealing algorithm
designed to explore the trade-off between multiple objectives in optimization problems …

A content selection component determines which information should be conveyed in the
output of a natural language generation system. We present an efficient method for …

In February 1992, I defended my doctoral thesis: Engineering Optimization-selected

This paper reports on the application of a simulated annealing (SA) algorithm to the
minimum cost design of reinforced concrete retaining structures. Cantilever retaining walls …

Optimization methods have been used widely to calibrate the parameters of watershed
models since the very beginning of the digital watershed modeling era. Over the years …

Simulated annealing methods have been used with the effective fragment potential to locate
the lowest energy structures for the water clusters (H2O) n with n 6, 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, and …

Abstract Steam-Assisted Gravity Drainage (SAGD) is a commercial in situ recovery
