This paper presents a genetic algorithm (GA) with specialized encoding, initialization and local search genetic operators to optimize communication network topologies. This NPhard...
Ontologies such as taxonomies, product catalogs or web directories are heavily used and hence evolve frequently to meet new requirements or to better reflect the current instance d...
If applications were able to detect a user's expertise, then software could automatically adapt to better match expertise. Detecting expertise is difficult because a user...
Group communication systems are powerful building blocks that facilitate the development of fault-tolerant distributed applications. Such systems generally run in an asynchronous ...
Aggressive energy conserving mechanisms can maximize energy efficiency, but often have the negative tradeoff of simultaneously reducing system responsiveness due to the switching ...
