Design of a WSRC Repository with an End-User Emphasis (1994)

John A. Miller, Walter D. Potter, Krys J. Kochut, Sunderraman Krishnan, Bonnie Edwards, Wensheng Zhang, ...

This report will go into depth about these and related issues. It will focus on the needs of WSRC and, in so doing, will enable the scope of the repository to be reduced somewhat. For example, one...

An Evaluation of Local Improvement Operators for Genetic Algorithms (1993)

John A. Miller, Walter D. Potter, Ravi V. Gandham, Ravi V. G, Chito N. Lapena

Genetic algorithms have demonstrated considerable success in providing good solutions to many NP-Hard optimization problems. For such problems, exact algorithms that always find the optimal solution...

On the Integration of Knowledge, Data, and Models (1992)

John A. Miller, Walter D. Potter, Krys J. Kochut

this paper, we highlight some of our ongoing research on integrating knowledge, data, and models. Providing crisp definitions is a difficult proposition. After all, everything in a computer boils...
