—Cloud resources are usually priced in multiple markets with different service guarantees. For example, Amazon EC2 prices virtual instances under three pricing schemes — the su...
Abstract We revisit the classical QuickSort and QuickSelect algorithms, under a complexity model that fully takes into account the elementary comparisons between symbols composing ...
By the fundamental theorem of symmetric polynomials, if P Q[X1, . . . , Xn] is symmetric, then it can be written P = Q(1, . . . , n), where 1, . . . , n are the elementary symmet...
Creating artificial life forms through evolutionary robotics faces a “chicken and egg” problem: learning to control a complex body is dominated by problems specific to its s...
Software systems must face two challenges today: growing complexity and increasing parallelism in the underlying computational models. The problem of increased complexity is often...
