We present a genetic algorithm for tackling a file assignment problem for a large-scale video-on-demand system. The file assignment problem is to find the optimal replication and a...

We consider the global optimization problem for d-variate Lipschitz functions which, in a certain sense, do not increase too slowly in a neighborhood of the global minimizer(s). O...
An important problem in distributed systems is to detect termination of a distributed computation. A computation is said to have terminated when all processes have become passive ...
: The paper presents results on the runtime complexity of two ant colony optimization (ACO) algorithms: Ant System, the oldest ACO variant, and GBAS, the first ACO variant for whic...
Nef polyhedra in d-dimensional space are the closure of half-spaces under boolean set operation. In consequence, they can represent non-manifold situations, open and closed sets, ...
