We continue the investigation of P coloniesintroduced in [7], of abstract computing devices composed of independent agents, acting and evolving in a shared environment. We determin...
A finite test set for an integer optimization problem enables us to verify whether a feasible point attains the global optimum. We establish in this paper several general results ...
This paper presents an application of the integration between Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and Multi-Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) to aid spatial decisions. We presen...
Field accessor methods have become a ubiquitous feature of object-oriented programming. The definition and use of such methods promote code bloat and an unnatural expression style...
Parallel and concurrent garbage collectors are increasingly employed by managed runtime environments (MREs) to maintain scalability, as multi-core architectures and multi-threaded...
