Milgram’s experiment (1967) demonstrated that there are short chains of acquaintances between individuals, and that these chains can be discovered in a greedy manner. Kleinberg ...
In this paper, a distributed and adaptive approach for resource discovery in peer-to-peer networks is presented. This approach is based on the mobile agent paradigm and the random...
Let f be an integer valued function on a finite set V . We call an undirected graph G(V, E) a neighborhood structure for f. The problem of finding a local minimum for f can be phr...
In this paper, we present simple and genetic forms of an evolutionary paradigm known as a society of hill-climbers (SoHC). We compare these simple and genetic SoHCs on a test suite...

Many evolving database applications warrant the use of non-traditional indexing mechanisms beyond B+-trees and hash tables. SP-GiST is an extensible indexing framework that broade...
