Adaptive Memetic Algorithms couple an evolutionary algorithm with a number of local search heuristics for improving the evolving solutions. They are part of a broad family of meta...
One of the most critical issues that remains to be fully addressed in existing multimodal evolutionary algorithms is the difficulty in pre-specifying parameters used for estimatin...
This paper discusses and compares several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and QoS constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, wh...
Abstract— Many emerging applications for peer to peer overlays may require nodes to satisfy strict timing deadlines to access a replica of a given object. This includes multimedi...
Information dissemination is a fundamental and frequently occuring problem in large, dynamic, distributed systems. We propose a novel approach to this problem, interest-aware info...
