Many optimization problems require the satisfaction of constraints in addition to their objectives. When using an evolutionary algorithm to solve such problems, these constraints c...
Grid systems offer high computing capabilities that are used in many scientific research fields and thus many applications are submitted to these powerful systems. Parallel applica...
Existing approaches to debugging distributed systems involve a cycle of passive observation followed by computation replaying. We propose predicate control as an active approach t...
In this paper we address the problem of agents engaged in a distributed costly two-sided search for pairwise partnerships in Multi-Agent Systems (MAS). While traditional two-sided...
It is well-known that the time and memory necessary to create a codebook from large training databases have hindered the vector quantization based systems for real applications. T...
