The development of a distributed database systemrequires effective solutions to many complex and interrelated design problems. The cost dependenciesbetween query optimization and ...
We explore the relationship between properties of the network defined by connected agents and the global system performance. This is achieved by means of a novel class of optimiza...
Abstract. Consultant-Guided Search (CGS) is a recent swarm intelligence metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization problems, inspired by the way real people make decisions based ...
This paper develops simple approximate methods to analyze a two-stage stochastic distribution system consisting of one warehouse and multiple retailers. We consider local and cent...
Abstract—In order to achieve data delivery in Delay Tolerant Networks (DTN), researchers have proposed the use of store-carryand-forward protocols: a node there may store a messa...
