Automatic cost analysis has interesting applications in the context of verification and certification of mobile code. For instance, the code receiver can use cost information in o...
A decentralized search algorithm is a method of routing on a random graph that uses only limited, local, information about the realization of the graph. In some random graph model...
Abstract—Engineering cannot wait until all phenomena are explained. Engineers may work effectively, often for centuries, with heuristics. This paper provides thirty one heuristic...
