2.1 The 0-1 Knapsack Problem (KP) The Knapsack Problem is a combinatorial optimization problem‚ which search out a best solution from among many other feasible solutions. It is concerned with a fixed size knapsack that has positive integer capacity (or volume) V. There are n numbers of distinct items that may potentially be placed in the knapsack. Item i has a positive integer capacity(volume) Vi and integer benefit Bi. In addition‚ there are Qi quantity of item i available‚ where quantity Qi is

Modern web search engines are highly intricate software systems that employ technology that has evolved over the years. There are a number of sub-categories of search engine software that are separately applicable to specific ’browsing’ needs. These include web search engines (e.g. Google)‚ database or structured data search engines (e.g. Dieselpoint)‚ and mixed search engines or enterprise search. The more prevalent search engines‚ such as Google and Yahoo!‚ utilize hundreds of thousands computers

Nieto-Gomez explains combinatorial evolution as a series of innovations‚ accelerated by the rate of technological advancements that produce infinite combinations of possibilities on society that can and are unpredictable (p. 2). These combinations or recombinations can have positive‚ as well as negative impacts. On the darker side of combinatorial evolution are horrific events such as the Oklahoma City bombing attack of the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building on April 19‚ 1995. Convicted for the
