Java library for local search algorithms?

Hi everybody,
Could anyone please help me with the following?
I am looking for a Java library with already implemented local search algorithms. Does such a thing exist? Would anyone recommend one?
I am testing several AI programs and need to select the best parameters for each one (in a relatively large number of experiments). I could write my own search algorithm, of course, but it would be so much easier to use several already implemented algorithms and choose the best one.
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
Anna

Here is an interesting question. Say you build the central control system of a rocket ship using Java, should you then be able to ask questions about rocket ships in Java forums?
Well you can try, but I wouldn't hold your breath to find another rocket scientist in such a place. You may want to go to a forum where rocket scientists congregate in stead. Just a friendly tip.

Java library for large list sorts in small amount of memory

Hi All
Wondering whether anybody would know of a ready made java library for sorting large lists of objects. We will write ourselves if necessary but I'm hoping this is the sort of problem that has been solved a million times and may hopefully have been wrapped behind some nice interface
What we need to do is something along the line of:
Load a large list with objects (duh!)
If that list fits into an allowed amount of memory great. Sort it and end of story.
If it won't then have some mechanism for spilling over onto disk and perform the best sort algorithm possible given some spill over onto disk.
These sorts need to be used in scenarios such as a random selection of 10% of the records in a 100G unsorted file and delivered sorted, with the jobs doing the sorts being limited to as little as 64MB of memory (these are extremes but ones that happen quite regularly).
Some of you might think "just use a database". Been there. Done that. And for reasons beyond the scope of this post its a no goer.
Thanking you for all your help in advance.

Of course this kind of sorting was common back in days of yore when we had mainframes with less than 1MB or ram.
The classic algorithm uses serveral files.
1) Load as much as will fit
2) sort it
3) Write it to a temporary file
4) Repeat from 1, altnerating output between two or three temp files.
Your temporary files then each contain a series of sorted sequences (try saying that three times fast).
You then merge these sequences into longer sequences, creating more temp files. Then merge the longer sequences into even longer ones, and so on until you're left with just the one sequence.
Merging doesn't require any significant memory use however long the sequences. You only need to hold one record from each temp file being merged.

HELP Java library for interpolation

Hi, we need for a text recognition project a java library for improving the pixel resolution. Now we get a low pixel resolution from our device and the results of the text recognition software are not so good. Our idea is to interpolate the recognized pixel. How know a suitable Java library.

Please try to clearly describe what you need to do.

Error while mapping a Java class for a Search Dialog Box component

Hi,
Scenario : There is PAR which I have developed for the sorting options for a Search Component set to be used in Km Search Iview.
I have copied this PAR from a similiar search functionality and customised the same.
Problem: When I deploy the PAR and then map this class for the sort options while creating a New Search Dialog box :
I get the following "Class not found error" ... Please can you let me know what could be the problem.
Any help would be appreciated here as I have tried all the possibilities to solve the problem.
Regards,
Vaishali.

I modified the xml file as described in the forum.But the error persists.
One interesting thing is:
When I create model after restarting the NDS,I get the following error:
org.eclipse.swt.SWTException: Failed to execute runnable (java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError: JCO.classInitialize(): Could not load middleware layer 'com.sap.mw.jco.rfc.MiddlewareRFC'
JCO.nativeInit(): Could not initialize dynamic link library librfc. Found version "620.0.1237" but required at least version "620.0.1374".)
I get the NoClassDef found error next time onwards,
Where do I get the 620.0.1374 version of librfc?
thanx.

Global java-library for graphical mapping?

we hava a global .jar-java library we want to use in all software components (and not import them into all software comonents)
in xi2.0 there was a procedure to update library.txt and reference.txt:
reference library:XILookup library:jco
(The XILookup class needs access to JCO)
reference IntegrationServices library:XILookup
(make XILookup visible to mapping runtime)
reference ExchangeRepository library:XILookup
(make XILookup visible to design-time)
now in xi 3.0 we deployed the library as a j2ee library using nwds
but how can i create the referenze to the exchangerepository and mapping runtime?
thanks for any help

Hello
I have the same problem. I want deploy also a jar library on xi system and after use this library for a messages mapping.
I won't use the external Archives, i must use the library for different names spaces.
I use for the deploying a library module in the NetWeaver developer studio. The deploying is working. But the mapping never found the jar library.
Thanks for help.

Dynamic java applet for binary search tree

dynamic java applet for deleting an element of a tree at any specified locationin the tree.

sorry, having thought a bit more about it let me try to be more correct and concrete. say i have feature a at arbitrary chromosome position 7 and features b at positions 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 9, 10. right now i have to get the closest distance (Math.abs(7-6)) by doing brute force comparison of all values (Math.abs(7-1), Math.abs(7-2), so on). what i want to do is set up a binary tree thus (please forgive poor ASCII):
5
2 9
1 3 6 10
and get back the keys that the tree tried (since i know that 7 is not in the tree and a traditional binary search e.g. TreeMap.get(new Integer(7)) will return a null). i should get back 5, 9, 6, in an array/ArrayList and be able to find the closest feature b in three comparisons rather than 7. that doesn't seem like much but when you have a million b features the difference between 1000000 comparisons and log2(1000000) is pretty appreciable. so i am wondering if there is an extant class that will give me back the trace of attempted keys through a binary tree as described or, if not, if this would be horribly difficult to implement as an extension of TreeMap.

[Java]Java Library for CVS and SVN

Hi!
I need Java libraries for my application. I want to manage repository CVS and SVN directly form Java code and not with a graphic interface.
I've found some SVN library(for example SVNKit) but I don't found any CVS library.
Can you help me?
Thanks,
Stefano.

Keep googlin'! They're out there! It's worth grabbing the source code for Eclipse or NetBeans or something, and digging about in there. If they're not using a third-party library to handle CVS, they've probably at least written their own. Nothing to stop you, for instance, grabbing part of the Eclipse Team bundle and using it yourself.
Question is: Why do you want to do this? If it's some wacky "self-checking in code", forget it.

Java library for function graphing

Hello.
I have searched Google up and down, but have not found a library for drawing functions in a coordinate system.
Does anyone have any experiences with libraries, or know of an easier way of doing this?
What I need is basically to draw functions (eg. y = 2x) in a coordinate system.
Thanks in advance
Dennis Johnsen

Hey
Yes, like that one, except that one can only draw 3 simple kinds of functions.
Do you know of any others that might be able to draw more different kinds of functions?
JFreeChart can draw anything if you provide it with a set of coordinates to draw at.
It's up to you to provide the coordinates though.
So what you're really looking for is a function parser I guess.

Java Library for MS Word (.doc) to PDF Conversion

Hi,
My customer would like to use BI Publisher's PDF Binding and Merging features to combine BIP PDF outputs with another documents in Solaris platform. However, currently those documents are all in Word .doc format only and the customer does not want to consider converting those into other formats like RTF.
Does BI Publisher provide library for converting .doc format directly into PDF? If not, does anyone know a Java library on the market that can best do the job?

Java Library for dynamic PDF form creation similar to LiveCycle Designer

Hi
I have a requirement as below :
Requirement : I need to create a dynamic PDF form with a barcode of type PDF417. Where a user can fill the form offline and after click on some button it will save the form offline and generate a barcode in the same PDF. Later on usaer can take a printout or send the saved pdf as it is.
Currently I am able to create such pdf from using LiveCycle Designer. But I need to create it manually using designer and then need to apply Reader Extension on it using livecycle server.
I want to do this programatically. I would like to create a similar form using some Java Library.
Is it possible to create it dynamicaly(using programs)? how ?
Does any one know how to acheive this ?
Can anyone help me please ?
Thank you very much in advance.

I heard about LiveCycle ES3 server and was wondering if it could be of any use in my scenario. Can some one explain how to use jar files in standalone application . I explored the livecycle forms api but could not figure out how it may be used ?

JAVA library for authen. RADIUS or Novell NDS?

Probably certainly to me not here...
The question consists in the following:
What libraries (if are available) for JAVA for authentication through RADIUS and/or Novell NDS are available?
Please at presence of such libraries to write to me on E-mail: [email protected]
Thank for attention.
K$V

Does that mean that you are not going to come back here and check any answers and expect someone to email you the answer. I doubt that happening.
I think there is a product called Radiator for Radius and Novell provides a Java toolkit for its directory servers. You might be able to use these.
Anyways, I did not have a right answer.
Sorry, could not help being arrogant.

Java Library for SFTP Access

Hi,
Currently I am uploading files via SFTP Software on a specific server.
I have to automate this step. How can I do this step with Java.
-Aykut

Sorry, but the advice searching this on google is not that easy.
If I would ask for, "how to create a JTable"
than you all would be right, "search on google!"
because most of the examples are usable.
Of course I already searched on google.
Searching on goole is faster than writing this post, this is out of question.
But I was looking for an Open Source Library which is also to be recommended,
means it's easy to use and works accurate.
Of course you get hundreds of links in google, by searching "Java sftp".
But how do you know which one is good one?
Non of you guys could answer to this question, except you already use it
or you already read or heard about it.
And what was my intention?
=> To get a recommendation, and not a lesson about searching on google (By the way, why not yahoo :))))
For those who may also interessted using Java and SFTP, http://www.networkworld.com/columnists/2005/050205internet.html

Using Java API for integer search

I have an integer array and need to check whether a given integer is in the array or not repeatedly. If I need to code by myself, I likely would sort the array first and apply binary search against the sorted array. Since Java already provides some APIs to achieve this goal, I am wondering what is a combining API set for the fastest operation.
