—Unstructured peer-to-peer networks have gained a lot of popularity due to their resilience to network dynamics. The core operation in such networks is to efficiently locate res...
We introduce a class of anchoritic sensor networks, where communications between sensor nodes are undesirable or infeasible due to, e.g., harsh environments, energy constraints, or...
Markov Networks (also known as Markov Random Fields) have been proposed as a new approach to probabilistic modelling in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs). An EDA employ...

Many optimization techniques have been adopted for efficient job scheduling in grid computing, such as: genetic algorithms, simulated annealing and stochastic methods. Such techni...

For most applications in wireless sensor networks (WSNs), it is often assumed that the deployment of sensor nodes is unmanaged and random, so the density of local node may vary thr...
