Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Abstract. The aim of this work is to characterize constructive real numbers through a minimal axiomatization. We introduce, discuss and justify 16 constructive axioms. Then we addr...
Abstract. We reexamine the limits of parallelism available in programs, using runtime reconstruction of program data-flow graphs. While limits of parallelism have been examined in...
nt formal speci cations of a new abstraction, weak sets, which can be used to alleviate high latencies when retrieving data from a wide-area information system like the World Wide...
Interactive program steering permits researchers to monitor and guide their applications during runtime. Interactive steering can help make end users more effective in addressing ...
