: In this paper we rst present a general lower bound on the stabilization time which holds for a number of graph theoretic problems, including leader election, spanning tree constr...
Deploying and controlling experiments running on a distributed set of resources is a challenging task. Software developers often spend a significant amount of time dealing with the...
This article describes a new model of probability density function and its use in estimation of distribution algorithms. The new model, the distribution tree, has interesting prope...
We present a new algorithm for learning a convex set in n-dimensional space given labeled examples drawn from any Gaussian distribution. The complexity of the algorithm is bounded ...
In this paper, we consider the problem of supporting fault tolerance for adaptive and time-critical applications in heterogeneous and unreliable grid computing environments. Our g...
