Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...
We consider the problem of data sharing between autonomous data sources in an environment where constraints cannot be placed on the shared contents of sources. Our solutions rely ...
System performance in multi-agent resource allocation systems can often improve if individual agents reduce their activity. Agents in such systems need a way to modulate their ind...

Abstract. Bounded fairness is a stronger notion than ordinary eventuality-based fairness, one that guarantees occurrence of an event within a fixed number of occurrences of anothe...
