A modification of the standard Simulated Annealing (SA) algorithm is presented for finding the global minimum of a continuous multidimensional, multimodal function. We report resu...
— Working in Winfree’s abstract tile assembly model, we show that a constant-size tile assembly system can be programmed through relative tile concentrations to build an n × n...
We present the Mobile Resource Guarantees framework: a system for ensuring that downloaded programs are free from run-time violations of resource bounds. Certificates are attached...

Abstract. In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which users have preferences. We consider the problem of...
Abstract. We propose in this paper a historical perspective of programming issues found in the implementation of control systems, based on the author’s observations for more than...
