In this paper we analyse the scalability of seven multiobjective evolutionary algorithms when they solve large instances of a known biological problem, the motif discovery problem (MDP). The selected algorithms are a population-based and a trajectory-based algorithms (DEPT and MO-VNS,...

The relationship between business and information systems engineering (BISE) and its main reference disciplines business administration and informatics has changed several times during the last decades. Despite some frictions during the 1980 s and 1990 s, the interplay between informatics and...

This article expands understanding of gender and advancement in academic science by going into a new dimension of inquiry: Focusing on women associate professors in computing, it assesses the relationship between perceived chances for promotion to full professor and indicators of...

In the past, recursive algorithms, such as PageRank originally conceived for the Web, have been successfully used to rank nodes in the citation networks of papers, authors, or journals. They have proved to determine prestige and not popularity, unlike citation counts. However, bibliographic...

Citation based approaches, such as the impact factor and h-index, have been used to measure the influence or impact of journals for journal rankings. A survey of the related literature for different disciplines shows that the level of correlation between these citation based approaches is domain...

It is demonstrated how dynamic storage allocation algorithms can be analyzed in terms of finite-size scaling. The method is illustrated in the three simple cases of the first-fit, next-fit and best-fit algorithms, and the system works at full capacity. The analysis is done from two different...
