This paper proposes an evolutionary framework where a network service is created from a group of autonomous agents that interact and evolve. Agents in our framework are capable of ...
Inheritance and polymorphism are key mechanisms of the object-oriented approach that enable designers to develop systems in an incremental manner. In this paper, we develop techni...
Modern disk drives read-ahead data and reorder incoming requests in a workload-dependent fashion. This improves their performance, but makes simple analytical models of them inade...
