Abstract--Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a problemsolving technique that was inspired by the related research on the behavior of real-world ant colony. In the domain of Network-o...
We study stochastic models to mitigate the risk of poor Quality-of-Service (QoS) in computational markets. Consumers who purchase services expect both price and performance guaran...
The Java programming language and environment is stimulating new research activities in many areas of computing, not the least of which is parallel computing. Parallel techniques ...
As the frequency of attacks faced by the average host connected to the Internet increases, reliance on manual intervention for response is decreasingly tenable. Operating system an...
