Abstract-The delivery of large files to single users, such as application programs for some versions of the envisioned network computer, or movies, is expected by many to be one of...
Consider a dynamic, large-scale communication infrastructure (e.g., the Internet) where nodes (e.g., in a peer to peer system) can communicate only with nodes whose id (e.g., IP a...
In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...
