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...
In this paper we propose an agent-based model of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) which extends seamlessly from concurrent single-host to distributed multi-host installations. Since ...
In this paper we describe a new approach for the well known problem in bioinformatics: Multiple Sequence Alignment (MSA). MSA is fundamental task as it represents an essential pla...
This paper proposes a hybrid architecture for distributed virtual environments, utilizing servers alongside peer-to-peer components. Current research into peer-based systems seeks...
Contracting out government services, especially IT services, has accelerated in recent years in the United States. Based on literature in privatization and contracting out, the au...
