Layering of protocols o ers several well-known advantages, but typically leads to performance ine ciencies. We present a model for layering, and point out where the performance pr...
Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
Cooperative caching is a promising technique to avoid the increasingly formidable disk bottleneck problem in distributed storage systems; it reduces the number of disk accesses by...
