We investigate periodic time synchronization of networks without centralized control, which can be modeled as a problem of aligning local variables taking values on a circle. Sync...
— Metaheuristics such as Estimation of Distribution Algorithms and the Cross-Entropy method use probabilistic modelling and inference to generate candidate solutions in optimizat...

Nowadays, distributed collaborative virtual environments are used in many scenarios such as tele-surgery, gaming, and industrial training, However several challenging issues remai...
In this chapter we discuss various aspects of adaptive mobile guide applications. After having motivated the need for web based mobile applications, we will discuss technologies th...
Abstract. We put forward an architectural framework that promotes the externalisation of the social dimension that arises in software-intensive systems which, like in healthcare, e...
