Nash equilibria and dominant strategies are two of the major approaches to deal with selfishness in an automated system (AS), where each agent is a selfish entity. In this paper,...
Among the many codings of spanning trees for evolutionary search are those based on bijections between Pr¨ufer strings—strings of n−2 vertex labels—and spanning trees on th...
Abstract. Peer-to-peer (P2P) computing is currently attracting enormous attention. In P2P systems a very large number of autonomous computing nodes (the peers) pool together their ...
Nowadays, large distributed databases are commonplace. Client applications increasingly rely on accessing objects from multiple remote hosts. The Internet itself is a huge network ...
