Abstract— Traditionally Interest Management (IM) in distributed environments has been performed through a ‘top-down’ expression of interest patterns in the model. For many mo...
Deciding the appropriate population size and number of islands for distributed island-model genetic algorithms is often critical to the algorithm’s success. This paper outlines ...
High-level vision systems use object, scene or domain specific knowledge to interpret images. Unfortunately, this knowledge has to be acquired for every domain. This makes it diffi...
Abstract. Self-adaptive systems must recon gure themselves, at runtime, to compensate for changing environments, objectives, and system capabilities. This paper discusses how the S...
The kernel-parameter is one of the few tunable parameters in Support Vector machines, controlling the complexity of the resulting hypothesis. Its choice amounts to model selection...
