Structure Prediction and Global Optimization

چکیده
This is the first issue of 2008 and it is a very dense one with a Scientific contribution on computational biology, some announcements, reports of conferences and events, the MPS Chairs Column. Thus, the extra space is limited but we like to use few additional lines for introducing a new feature we are particularly happy with. Starting with issue 76 there will be a Discussion Column whose content is tightly related to the Scientific contribution, with a purpose of making every issue of Optima recognizable through a special topic. The Discussion Column will take the form of a comment on the Scientific contribution from some experts in the field other than the authors or an interview/discussion of a couple of experts in the area or some other short contribution which may reflect alternative points of view related to the special topic.

Link Prediction using Network Embedding based on Global Similarity
Background: The link prediction issue is one of the most widely used problems in complex network analysis. Link prediction requires knowing the background of previous link connections and combining them with available information. The link prediction local approaches with node structure objectives are fast in case of speed but are not accurate enough. On the other hand, the global link predicti...

متن کاملTraffic Signal Prediction Using Elman Neural Network and Particle Swarm Optimization
Prediction of traffic is very crucial for its management. Because of human involvement in the generation of this phenomenon, traffic signal is normally accompanied by noise and high levels of non-stationarity. Therefore, traffic signal prediction as one of the important subjects of study has attracted researchers’ interests. In this study, a combinatorial approach is proposed for traffic signal...
