Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

To accommodate heterogeneous transmission conditions in a streaming scenario several multi-rate multicast solutions have been proposed, based on simulcasting or hierarchical layer...
Abstract. Approximate dynamic programming offers a new modeling and algorithmic strategy for complex problems such as rail operations. Problems in rail operations are often modeled...
The rapidly increasing traffic demand from mobile users forces network operators and service providers to extend and optimize existing networks as well as to plan entirely new mo...
The POEMS project is creating an environment for end-to-end performance modeling of complex parallel and distributed systems, spanning the domains of application software, runti...
