The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
In this paper we propose an agent-based model of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) which extends seamlessly from concurrent single-host to distributed multi-host installations. Since ...
We initiate the study of error confinement in distributed applications, where the goal is that only nodes that were directly hit by a fault may deviate from their correct external...
— We consider the design of optimal static feedback gains for interconnected systems subject to architectural constraints on the distributed controller. These constraints are in ...
The mean running time of a Las Vegas algorithm can often be dramatically reduced by periodically restarting it with a fresh random seed. The optimal restart schedule depends on th...
