— In this paper we present a new nature-inspired variation operator for binary encodings in genetic algorithms (GAs). Our method, called implicit alternative splicing (iAS), is r...
— Static resources allocation problems have been widely studied. More recently some of this attention has changed to focus on dynamic problems, where problem specifications, con...
Providing web service replicas improves the overall system performance and redundancy for hardware failures. In Business-to-Business, this may be particularly interesting for orga...
— Static replicas have been proven useful in providing fault tolerance and load balancing, but they may not provide enough assurance on the continuous availability of missioncrit...
