Abstract. Natural systems, such as organs and organisms, are largescale complex systems with numerous elements and interactions. Modeling such systems can lead to better understand...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Estimating remaining defects or failures in software can help test managers make release decisions during testing. Several methods exist to estimate defect content, among them a v...
An integrated model-based development approach has to capture the relationship between requirements, design, and implementation models. In the requirements engineering phase, the m...
I will review the role that Monte Carlo methods play in the physical sciences. They are very widely used for a number of reasons: they permit the rapid and faithful transformation...
