This paper explores strategies for slowing the onset of convergence in an evolving population of agents. The strategies include the emergent maintenance of separate agent sub-popul...
A wireless sensor network consists of a large number of small, resource-constrained devices and usually operates in hostile environments that are prone to link and node failures. ...
—The greedy wire-sizing algorithm (GWSA) has been experimentally shown to be very efficient, but no mathematical analysis on its convergence rate has ever been reported. In this...
In noncooperative networks, resources are shared among selfish users, which optimize their individual performance measure. We consider the generic and practically important case o...
Abstract. We investigate conditions under which con uence and or termination are preserved for constructor-sharing and hierarchical combinations of rewrite systems, one of which is...
