HySST: Hyper-heuristic Search Strategies and Timetabling

High school timetabling (HST) is a well-known real-world combinatorial optimisation problem. It requires the scheduling of events and resources, such as courses, classes of students, teachers, rooms and more within a fixed number of time slots subject to a set of constraints. In a standard fashion, constraints are separated into ‘hard’ and soft. The hard constraints must be satisfied in order t...

News Consumption and Media Bias

B in the market for news is well-documented. Recent research in economics explains the phenomenon by assuming that consumers want to read (watch) news that is consistent with their tastes or prior beliefs rather than the truth. The present paper builds on this idea but recognizes that (i) besides “biased” consumers, there are also “conscientious” consumers whose sole interest is in discovering ...

Media Applications on Hyper-Threading Technology

This paper characterizes selected workloads of multimedia applications on current superscalar architectures, and then it characterizes the same workloads on Intel HyperThreading Technology. The workloads, including video encoding, decoding, and watermark detection, are optimized for the Intel Pentium 4 processor. One of the workloads is even commercially available and it performs best on the Pe...

Link Management Framework for Hyper-Media Documents

This paper presents a framework for link management within hyper-media documents. The framework includes: (1) an object-oriented document architecture with a consistent interface for different media types; (2) a transition model between multimedia objects founded on contentbased static links for atemporal media, and content/timebased dynamic links for temporal media; and (3) intrinsic support f...
