Des temples et des quartiers disparus en Chine by Adeline Herrou

“…It is based on long-term ethnographic fieldwork, whose heuristic value will be shown in order to understand not only the meaning that is locally attributed to these tabula rasa phenomena, but also how everyone’s zero point of observation (including that of the ethnologist) determines their perception of the event. …”

METHODOLOGICAL PROFILES OF THE CIVIL SOCIETY: CIVIC VIRTUE VERSUS CIVIL ASSOCIATION by Marius Povilas Povilas Šaulauskas

“…Here the cluster of meanings attached to the notion Civil Society accords to the synchronous patterns of contextualization and, although altogether deprived of deliberate methodological backing and conceptual clarity, it could be roughly identified in terms of loosely defined finite list of connotations at any given momentum of time. An heuristically sound approximating definition of the Civil Society sensu stricto that is nevertheless required in a consistent empirically backed societal analysis cannot claim universal validity and must be posited only instrumentally. …”

A Probabilistic Protocol for Multihop Routing in VANETs by Junichiro Fukuyama

“…VANETs, however, are pointed out as difficult for numerical optimizations due to frequent changes in their topologies. As a result, heuristic methods such as GPSR have been mainly used for routing packets over multihop communications. …”

IFDR: An Efficient Iterative Optimization Algorithm for Standard Cell Placement by Feng Cheng, Junfa Mao

“…In this article, an improved force directed relaxation (IFDR) method for standard cell placement is presented, which provides a more flexible and efficient cell location adjustment scheme and a more extensive searching scale for better iterative placement optimization than the FDR method. A new heuristic algorithm based on local optimization is combined with the IFDR method to improve the placement. …”

Electricity Usage Scheduling in Smart Building Environments Using Smart Devices by Eunji Lee, Hyokyung Bahn

“…Specifically, we formulate the electricity usage scheduling problem as a real-time task scheduling problem and show that it is a complex search problem that has an exponential time complexity. An efficient heuristic based on genetic algorithms is performed on a smart device to cut down the huge searching space and find a reasonable schedule within a feasible time budget. …”

Network and Agent Dynamics with Evolving Protection against Systemic Risk by Chulwook Park

“…Despite intensive systemic risk, the potential of the absence of failure could also be driven when there has been a strong investment in protection through a heuristically evolved protection level. It is very interesting to discover that many applications are still seeking the mechanisms through which networked individuals build many of these protection processes or mechanisms based on fitness due to evolutionary drift. …”

REFORMING OF HIGHER EDUCATION IN THE UK: VALUE AND NORMATIVE DIMENSIONS by Elizaveta V. Zolotareva

“…The conflict of interpretations by main political actors of such principles as social justice, freedom of choice, responsibility and efficiency is projected on their choice of strategy of forming «new» partnerships between educational subjects – universities, students, business and the state. Heuristic possibilities of using the method of critical discourseBanalysis to improve the regulatory framework in a crisis situation, and reducing risk in making innovative solutions, especially for young people, is considered by the example of the analysis of I. …”

A Majority Theorem for the Uncapacitated <i>p</i> = 2 Median Problem and Local Spatial Autocorrelation by Daniel A. Griffith, Yongwan Chun, Hyun Kim

“…This latent redundant attribute information alludes to other tools that may well help to solve such spatial optimization problems in an improved, if not better than, heuristic way. Within a proof-of-concept perspective, this paper articulates connections between extensions of the renowned Majority Theorem of the minisum problem and especially the local indices of SA (LISA). …”
