Data encapsulation is a familiar property in object-oriented programming. It is not only useful for modelling things in the real world, but it also facilitates reuse by enabling th...
In this paper, we present a comparative study of different stochastic components of genetic algorithms for simulationbased optimisation of the buffer allocation problem. We explor...
Abstract Projects using geographic information tools involve a large variety of data objects, represented in different formats. Many efforts pursue standards to represent each kind...
Physical boundaries have caused software systems to become less monolithic and more distributed. The trend is progressing to a point where software systems will consist of numerous...
Current object-oriented approaches to distributed programs may be criticized in several respects. First, method calls are generally synchronous, which leads to much waiting in dis...
