these is that human memory is better at recognising items than remembering them without cues [1]. One way to increase recall in a text browsing environment is to increase the number of ways to gain access to a certain bit of data, in other words, to increase the number of entry points into a text. Examples of this include deepening the detail of a table of contents, or increasing the number of ...

In this paper we categorize the coherence traffic in update-based protocols and show that, for most applications, more than 90% of all updates generated by the protocol are unnecessary. We identify application characteristics that generate useless update traffic, and compare the isolated and combined effects of several software and hardware techniques for eliminating useless updates. These tech...

In the context of many data mining tasks, high dimensionality was shown to be able to pose significant problems, commonly referred to as different aspects of the curse of dimensionality. In this paper, we investigate in the time-series domain one aspect of the dimensionality curse called hubness, which refers to the tendency of some instances in a data set to become hubs by being included in un...

In literature, economic power dispatch problems are generally categorized as convex and non-convex optimization problems. In this study, incremental artificial bee colony (IABC) and incremental artificial bee colony with local search (IABC-LS) have been used for the solution of the economic dispatch problem with valve point effect. In these kind of problems, fuel cost curve increases as sinusoi...
