Abstract—BitTorrent has been the most popular P2P (Peer-toPeer) paradigm during recent years. Built upon great intuition, the piece-selection and neighbor-selection modules roote...
' An efficient assignment of tasks to the processors is imperative for achieving a fast job turnaround time in a parallel or distributed enviornment. The assignment problem is...
The problem of reinforcement learning in large factored Markov decision processes is explored. The Q-value of a state-action pair is approximated by the free energy of a product o...
Distributed Genetic Algorithm (DGA) is one of the most promising choices among the optimization methods. In this paper we describe DGAFrame, a flexible framework for evolutionary...
In this paper, we present the index-permutation (IP) graph model, and apply it to the systematic development of efficient hierarchical networks. We derive several classes of inter...
