Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
Abstract. Multimedia servers are increasingly employing parallel systems for the retrieval, scheduling and delivery of streaming multimedia content. However, given non-zero blockin...
Self-stabilizing token circulation algorithms are not always adapted for dynamic networks. Random walks are well known to play a crucial role in the design of randomized algorithm...
Abstract. Motivated by parallel optimization, we study the SelfAdaptation algorithm for large population sizes. We first show that the current version of this algorithm does not r...
In a real-time system, tasks are constrained by global endto-end (E-T-E) deadlines. In order to cater for high task schedulability, these deadlines must be distributed over compon...
