In this paper we develop a model for random walk-based search mechanisms in unstructured P2P networks. This model is used to obtain analytical expressions for the performance metr...
Automatic design of software architecture by use of genetic algorithms has already been shown to be feasible. A natural problem is to augment – if not replace – genetic algori...
— In this paper, we study the survivability problem in hierarchical wireless access networks with dual-homed end users, who are connected to two base stations (BSs), a primary BS...
Simulation optimization is rapidly becoming a mainstream tool for simulation practitioners. Simulation optimization is the practice of linking an optimization method with a simula...
We consider discrete stochastic optimization problems where the objective function can only be estimated by a simulation oracle; the oracle is defined only at the discrete points....
