The interaction among variables of an optimization problem is known as epistasis, and its degree is an important measure for the nonlinearity of the problem. We address the proble...
Discussions of agent interactions frequently characterize behavior as “coherent,” “collaborative,” “cooperative,” “competitive,” or “coordinated.” We propose a...

Computer science is necessary but not sufficient to understand and overcome the problems we face in software engineering. We need to understand not only the properties of the soft...
XCS is a stochastic algorithm, so it does not guarantee to produce the same results when run with the same input. When interpretability matters, obtaining a single, stable result ...
Complexity is often hypothesized to be the enemy of software security. If this hypothesis is true, complexity metrics may be used to predict the locale of security problems and ca...
