— Fuzzy Cognitive Maps (FCMs) are a class of discrete-time Artificial Neural Networks that are used to model dynamic systems. A recently introduced supervised learning method, wh...
Abstract—In many networking applications such as file sharing, structured peer-to-peer networks are increasingly used in dynamic situations with fluctuating load, which require...
Abstract— Evaluating and quantifying trust stimulates collaboration in mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs). Many existing reputation systems sharply divide the trust value into right...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
We address the problem of optimizing the distribution of partially replicated databases over a computer network. Replication is used to increase data availability in the presence ...
