Fault-tolerance is fundamental to the further development of mobile agent applications. In the context of mobile agents, fault-tolerance prevents a partial or complete loss of the...
This paper introduces a function that increases the amount of neutrality (inactive code in Genetic Programming) for the Artificial Ant Problem. The objective of this approach is t...
Real-world distributed systems and networks are often unreliable and subject to random failures of its components. Such a stochastic behavior affects adversely the complexity of o...
This paper describes the development and application of a piece of engineering software that provides a Problem Solving Environment (PSE) capable of launching, and interfacing wit...

We study four scheduling problems involving the maximum lateness criterion and an element of batching. For all the problems that we examine, algorithms appear in the literature th...
