Peer-to-peer, or simply P2P, systems have recently emerged as a popular paradigm for building distributed applications. One key aspect of the P2P system design is the mechanism us...
We propose an improved restart strategy for randomized backtrack search, and evaluate its performance by comparing to other heuristic and stochastic search techniques for solving r...
A new graph-based evolutionary algorithm named “Genetic Network Programming, GNP” has been proposed. GNP represents its solutions as directed graph structures, which can improv...
This paper introduces dynamic object colocation, an optimization to reduce copying costs in generational and other incremental garbage collectors by allocating connected objects t...
Distributed partially observable Markov decision problems (POMDPs) have emerged as a popular decision-theoretic approach for planning for multiagent teams, where it is imperative f...
