We show how a random mutation hill climber that does multilevel selection utilizes transposition to escape local optima on the discrete Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If (HIFF) problem....
In mobile ad hoc networks, node mobility causes links between nodes to break frequently, thus terminating the lifetime of the routes containing those links. An alternative route h...
In recent years, the gossip-based communication model in large-scale distributed systems has become a general paradigm with important applications which include information dissemi...
The study of self-testing/correcting programs was introduced in [8] in order to allow one to use program P to compute function f without trusting that P works correctly. A self-te...

Ranged hash functions generalize hash tables to the setting where hash buckets may come and go over time, a typical case in distributed settings where hash buckets may correspond ...
