Strict consistency of replicated data is infeasible or not required by many distributed applications, so current systems often permit stale replication, in which cached copies of ...
Arti cial Life and the more general area of Complex Systems does not have a uni ed theoretical framework although most theoretical work in these areas is based on simulation. This ...
After an outline of the history of evolutionary algorithms, a new ( ) variant of the evolution strategies is introduced formally. Though not comprising all degrees of freedom, it i...
Asynchronous systems are being viewed as an increasingly viable alternative to purely synchronous systems. This paper gives an overview of the current state of the art in practica...
In this paper we describe a new e cient algorithm for recognizing 3D objects by combining photometric and geometric invariants. Some photometric properties are derived, that are i...
