A novel Grammatical Genetic Algorithm, the meta-Grammar Genetic Algorithm (mGGA) is presented. The mGGA borrows a grammatical representation and the ideas of modularity and reuse f...
We present an overview of current research in performance modeling, focusing on efforts underway in the Performance Evaluation Research Center (PERC). Using some new techniques, w...
We study simple greedy approximation algorithms for general class of integer packing problems. We provide a novel analysis based on the duality theory of linear programming. This e...
We introduce a new dynamic technique for embedding robust software watermarks into a software program using thread contention. We show the technique to be resilient to many semanti...
In previous work, we have shown that multicodes can be used to improve the performance of Java applications. We extend that work by both implementing more multicodes and consideri...
