In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
Self-managing solutions have recently attracted a lot of interest from the database community. The need for self-* properties is more evident in distributed applications comprising...
Recently, cooperative communications, in the form of keeping each node with a single antenna and having a node exploit a relay node's antenna, is shown to be a promising appr...
