Despite the recognition of cellular automata (CA) as a exible and powerful tool for urban growth simulation, the calibration of CA had been largely heuristic until recent eVorts to...
At present, the development in the nascent field of synthetic gene networks is still difficult. Most newly created gene networks are nonfunctioning due to intrinsic parameter fluct...
Abstract. This paper considers the Steiner tree problem in the model of twostage stochastic optimization with recourse. This model, the focus of much recent research [1–4], tries...
A reason to distribute constraint satisfaction is privacy: agents may not want to share their values, and they may wish to keep constraints as private as possible. In this paper, w...
The liveness characteristics of a system are intimately related to the notion of fairness. However, the task of explicitly modelling fairness constraints is complicated in practice...
