—In distributed computing systems (DCSs) where server nodes can fail permanently with nonzero probability, the system performance can be assessed by means of the service reliabil...
The phenomenon of particle bursts, a well-known feature of PSO is investigated. Their origin is concluded to lie in multiplicative stochasticity, previously encountered in the stu...
This paper deals with clustering of spatially distributed data using wireless sensor networks. A distributed low-complexity clustering algorithm is developed that requires one-hop...
