An algorithm independent metric is introduced that measures the dispersion of a uniform random sample drawn from the top ranked percentiles of the search space. A low dispersion f...
Simulated evolution by the use of Genetic Algorithms (GA) is presented as the solution to a twofaceted problem: the challenge for an autonomous agent to learn the reactive componen...
Abstract. This paper addresses the problem of establishing temporal properties of programs written in languages, such as Java, that make extensive use of the heap to allocate-and d...

Predicting accurately the spatiotemporal evolution of a diffusive environmental hazard is of paramount importance for its effective containment. We approximate the front line of a...
