Several population-based methods (with origins in the world of evolutionary strategies and estimation-of-distribution algorithms) for black-box optimization in continuous domains ...
A data stream management system executes a large number of continuous queries in parallel. As stream characteristics and query workload change over time, the plan initially install...
Designing and analyzing self-organizing systems such as robotic swarms is a challenging task even though we have complete knowledge about the robot's interior. It is difficul...
In this paper, we propose a simple and flexible execution model that (i) supports a wide spectrum of alternative optimization and execution strategies and their mixtures, (ii) pro...

Our problem of interest consists of minimizing a separable, convex and differentiable function over a convex set, defined by bounds on the variables and an explicit constraint des...
