Generic Iterative Simulated-Annealing Search (GISS) is a hyper-heuristic algorithm inspired on a Simulated Annealing driven method, on this context its used to explore across the different instance-heuristicstate search space. On this extended abstract we describe the proposed approach, characteristics and others technicals parameters.

We used the Terrestrial Ecosystem Model (TEM, version 4.0) to estimate net primary production (NPP) in China for contemporary climate and NPP responses to elevated CO2 and climate changes projected by three atmospheric general circulation models (GCMs): Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), Geophysical Fluid Dynamic Laboratory (GFDL) and Oregon State University (OSU). For contemporary cli...

Comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the breakdown behavior solid-gas interfaces are important for development, optimization, coordination insulation in practical high-voltage (HV) gas-insulated systems (GISs) that widely used power pulsed industries. However, despite significant research efforts focused on characterization parameters properties complex gas-filled HV systems, basic mech...

A federated GIS is a collection of heterogeneous GIS that collectively act as a single source of geographical information. Spatial metadata plays an important role in accessing information from a federated GIS and furthermore, is seen as the key to achieving interoperability. Metadata usually conforms to a standard such as the Australia New Zealand Land Information Committee (ANZLIC) standard; ...

We investigate the issue of “dangerous humanmade interference with climate” using simulations with GISS modelE driven by measured or estimated forcings for 1880– 2003 and extended to 2100 for IPCC greenhouse gas scenarios as well as the “alternative” scenario of Hansen and Sato (2004). Identification of “dangerous” effects is partly subjective, but we find evidence that added global warming of ...
