Optimization of the control parameters of genetic algorithms is often a time consuming and tedious task. In this work we take the meta-level genetic algorithm approach to control ...
Executing parallel applications across distributed networks introduces the problem of fault tolerance. A viable solution for fault tolerance must keep overhead manageable and not c...
Since the early 1970's a number of models have been proposed for estimating software reliability. However, the realism of many of the underlying assumptions and the applicabi...
As modern microprocessors employ deeper pipelines and issue multiple instructions per cycle, they are becoming increasingly dependent on accurate branch prediction. Because hardwa...
Prompted by demands for portability and low-cost packaging, the electronics industry has begun to view power consumption as a critical design criteria. As such there is a growing ...
