Abstract--In this paper, we analyze the problem of network disconnection in the context of large-scale P2P networks and understand how both static and dynamic patterns of node fail...
We address two issues in Evolutionary Robotics, namely the genetic encoding and the performance criterion, also known as fitness function. For the first aspect, we suggest to enco...
Software agent-based negotiation is a major method to automate the interactions in electronic marketplaces and Internet enabled communities. The traditional approach is to let the...
An iterative framework for solving generalized equations with nonisolated solutions is presented. For generalized equations with the structure 0 F(z) + T (z), where T is a multifu...
In a heap model, solid blocks, or pieces, pile up according to the Tetris game mechanism. An optimal schedule is an in nite sequence of pieces minimizing the asymptotic growth rat...
