Research can rarely be performed on large-scale, distributed systems at the level of thousands of workstations. In this paper, we describe the motivating constraints, design princ...
Background: Confidence in pairwise alignments of biological sequences, obtained by various methods such as Blast or Smith-Waterman, is critical for automatic analyses of genomic d...
This paper suggests an evolutionary approach to design coordination strategies, a key issue in distributed intelligent systems. We focus on competitive strategies in the form of f...
The FreeBSD operating system more than doubled in size between version 2 and version 4. Many changes to primary modularity are easy to spot at a high-level. For example, new devic...
