When the epistasis of the fitness function is bounded by a constant, we show that the expected fitness of an offspring of the (1+1)-EA can be efficiently computed for any point...
A raw object is partially initialized, with only some fields set to legal values. It may violate its object invariants, such as that a given field is non-null. Programs often ma...
Query localization is an improved extension of on-demand routing protocols for ad hoc networks. It makes use of prior routing histories to localize the query flood to a limited re...
We consider programs for embedded real-time systems which use priority-driven preemptive scheduling with task priorities adjusted dynamically according to the immediate ceiling pr...
