Ambient Intelligence scenarios can be deployed even when the environment lacks of a underlying network infrastructure. This can be done using distributed ad-hoc networks. Ambient ...
We present in this work a wide spectrum of results on analyzing the behavior of parallel heuristics for solving optimization problems. We focus on evolutionary algorithms as well ...
Resource selection is fundamental to the performance of master/slave applications. In this paper, we address the problem of promoting performance for distributed master/slave appl...
We discuss tournaments in terms of their efficiency as probabilistic mechanisms that select high-quality alternatives ("players") in a noisy environment. We use two crit...
Distributed Hashtables (DHTs) provide a scalable method of associating file-hashes with a particular location in a distributed network environment. Modifying DHTs directly to suppo...
