In parallel and distributed processing, tasks are ordinarily clustered and assigned to different processors or machines before they are scheduled. The assignment of tasks to proc...
We describe a framework for the automatic synthesis of biped locomotion controllers that adapt to uneven terrain at run-time. The framework consists of two components: a per-foots...
Let G be a connected graph, and let V and V two n-element subsets of its vertex set V (G). Imagine that we place a chip at each element of V and we want to move them into the posi...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity and Quality of Service (QoS) constraints. The client requests ...
A comparative study of parallel metaheuristics executed in grid environments is proposed, having as case study a genetic algorithm, a simulated annealing algorithm and a random se...
