To prevent a too cozy relationship between regulators and the regulated, bank examiners must switch assignments on a random basis.
A common objective of this NP-hard optimization problem, termed as cell-to-switch assignment (CSA) in the literature, is to minimize the hybrid cost, comprising handoff cost between adjacent cells, and the cable cost between cells and switches, subject to the constraint that the call volume to be handled by a switch should not exceed its traffic handling capacity.
This paper presents a hybrid Hopfield network-genetic algorithm approach to the cell-to-switches assignment problem, in which a Hopfield network manages the problem's constraints, and a genetic algorithm searches for high quality solutions with the minimum possible cost in terms of handoff and cable displayed.
He decided to quit that line of work – and pursue acting full-time – after the murder of rapper Notorious BIG, whom Duncan had been hired to protect before switching assignments.
The subsequent advice: acknowledge in interviews that he reacted poorly to a switch in assignment, learned a lesson, focused late in the year and will never pout again.
