Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
An object-oriented (OO) model has a static component, the set of allowable snapshots or system states, and a dynamic component, the set of filmstrips or sequences of snapshots. Dia...

Data sources, storage, computing resources and services are entities on Grids that require mechanisms for publication and lookup. A discovery service relies on efficient lookup to...
Program slicing is a technique for isolating computational threads in programs. In this paper, we show how to mechanically extract a family of practical algorithms for computing s...
Swarm is a computational model which extends the UNITY model in three important ways: (1) UNITY’s fixed set of variables is replaced by an unbounded set of tuples which are add...
