The terminal Steiner tree problem (TST) consists of finding a minimum cost Steiner tree where each terminal is a leaf. We describe a factor 2ρ−ρ/(3ρ−2) approximation algor...
This paper investigates genetic drift in multi-parent genetic algorithms (MPGAs). An exact model based on Markov chains is proposed to formulate the variation of gene frequency. Th...
Abstract. This article presents a fault tolerant extension for the NaimiTrehel token-based mutual exclusion algorithm. Contrary to the extension proposed by Naimi-Trehel, our appro...
The Internet is different from traditional parallel computing environments, and Distributed Genetic Algorithms (DGAs) for the Internet need to be designed to address these diffe...
By the use of the GRIBB software for distributed computing across the Internet, we are investigating the obstacles and the potential for efficient parallelization of Branch and Bou...
