This paper investigates cooperative search strategies for agents engaged in costly search in a complex environment. Searching cooperatively, several search goals can be satisfied w...
Stochastic analysis techniques for real-time systems model the execution time of tasks as random variables. These techniques constitute a very powerful tool to study the behaviour...
We present the first Utility Accrual (or UA) real-time scheduling algorithm for multiprocessors, called gMUA. The algorithm considers an application model where real-time activiti...

A stochastic global optimization approach is presented for transistor sizing in CMOS VLSI circuits. This is a direct search strategy for the best design among feasible ones, with ...
Cooperation between wireless nodes to retransmit data for the other users introduces multiuser diversity to a wireless network and increases the system throughput. In this paper, t...
