Braess’s Paradox is the counterintuitive but well-known fact that removing edges from a network with “selfish routing” can decrease the latency incurred by traffic in an eq...
As artificial life systems grow in number and sophistication, it is becoming increasingly important that the field agree on principled metrics for evaluating them. This report d...
Load balance is a critical issue in distributed systems, such as server grids. In this paper, we propose a Balanced Load Queue (BLQ) model, which combines the queuing theory and hy...
We develop a theory for learning scenarios where multiple learners co-exist but there are mutual compatibility constraints on their outcomes. This is natural in cognitive learning...
We consider the design of self-testers for quantum gates. A self-tester for the gates F 1, . . . , F m is a procedure that, given any gates G1, . . . , Gm, decides with high probab...
