We introduce a general method to count and randomly sample unlabeled combinatorial structures. The approach is based on pointing unlabeled structures in an “unbiased” way, i.e...
In this article, we study the problem of distributed selection from a theoretical point of view. Given a general connected graph of diameter D consisting of n nodes in which each ...
This paper describes a general scheme to convert sequential ant-based algorithms into parallel shared memory algorithms. The scheme is applied to an ant-based algorithm for the ma...
