A Cloud may be seen as a type of flexible computing infrastructure consisting of many compute nodes, where resizable computing capacities can be provided to different customers. T...
Autonomous software agents provide a promising solution to the needs of decentralised networked systems, able to adapt their behaviour in a complex and dynamically changing environ...
Cellular genetic algorithms (cGAs) are mainly characterized by their spatially decentralized population, in which individuals can only interact with their neighbors. In this work,...
Importance Sampling is a potentially powerful variance reduction technique to speed up simulations where the objective depends on the occurrence of rare events. However, it is cru...
