The Shifting Balance Genetic Algorithm (SBGA) is an extension of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) that was created to promote guided diversity to improve performance in highly multimodal...
SRS is a widely used system for integrating biological databases. Currently, SRS relies only on locally provided copies of these databases. In this paper we propose a mechanism th...
Caching is a standard solution to the problem of insufcient bandwidth caused by the rapid increase of information circulation across the Internet. Cache consistency mechanisms are...
This paper proposes a hardware mechanism for reducing coherency overhead occurring in scientific computations within DSM systems. A first phase aims at detecting, in the address s...
Using a model of agent behavior based around envy-reducing strategies, we describe an iterated combinatorial auction in which the allocation and prices converge to a solution in t...
