In this paper we explore some of the connections between cooperative game theory and the utility maximization framework for routing and flow control in networks. Central to both a...
Generating a random sampling of program trees with specified function and terminal sets is the initial step of many program evolution systems. I present a theoretical and experim...
Learning Classifier Systems use evolutionary algorithms to facilitate rule- discovery, where rule fitness is traditionally payoff based and assigned under a sharing scheme. Most c...
Ad hoc and peer-to-peer (P2P) computing paradigms pose a number of security challenges. The deployment of classic security protocols to provide services such as node authentication...

Declustering techniques reduce query response times through parallel I/O by distributing data among multiple devices. Most of the research on declustering is targeted at spatial r...
