Indeterminism is typical for concurrent computation. If several concurrent actors compete for the same resource then at most one of them may succeed, whereby the choice of the suc...
The class of k Nearest Neighbor (kNN) queries is frequently used in geospatial applications. Many studies focus on processing kNN in Euclidean and road network spaces. Meanwhile, ...
Using a dynamic systems model for the Simple Genetic Algorithm due to Vose[1], we analyze the fixed point behavior of the model without crossover applied to functions of unitation...
Simulation optimization is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for simulation practitioners. Simulation optimization is the practice of linking an optimization method with a simula...
Most research on QoS-aware computing considers systems where code is generally partitioned into separately schedulable tasks with associated timing constraints. In sharp contrast ...
