This paper begins by reviewing different methods of automatic programming while emphasizing the technique of Ant Programming (AP). AP uses an ant foraging metaphor in which ants g...
Service coordination in domains involving temporal constraints and duration uncertainty has previously been solved with a greedy algorithm that attempts to satisfy service requests...
Over the past few years, a number of distributed algorithms have been developed for integrating the measurements acquired by a wireless sensor network. Among them, average consensu...
A family of permutations in Sn is k-wise independent if a uniform permutation chosen from the family maps any distinct k elements to any distinct k elements equally likely. Effici...
