— Estimation of Distribution Algorithm (EDA) is a well-known stochastic optimization technique. The average time complexity is a crucial criterion that measures the performance o...
We address the problem of optimizing the distribution of partially replicated databases over a computer network. Replication is used to increase data availability in the presence ...

Abstract- Markov Random Field (MRF) modelling techniques have been recently proposed as a novel approach to probabilistic modelling for Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs)...

— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
We present a distributed algorithm for assembling a proof that a request satisfies an access-control policy expressed in a formal logic, in the tradition of Lampson et al. [16]. ...
