This paper describes a novel approach to performance analysis for parallel and distributed systems that is based on soft computing. We introduce the concept of performance score re...
A case study of performance and dependability evaluation of fault-tolerant multiprocessors is presented. Two specific architectures are analyzed taking into account system functio...
The exponential distribution is a key distribution in many event-driven Monte-Carlo simulations, where it is used to model the time between random events in the system. This paper...
A logic program strongly terminates if it terminates for any selection rule. Clearly, considering a particular selection rule—like Prolog’s leftmost selection rule—allows one...
In this communication Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms, are applied to the graph partitioning problem. These techniques mimic processes in statistical mechanics and biol...
