The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
Predicting how well applications may run on modern systems is becoming increasingly challenging. It is no longer sufficient to look at number of floating point operations and commu...
Discovery of frequent patterns has been studied in a variety of data mining settings. In its simplest form, known from association rule mining, the task is to discover all frequent...
Higher-order pushdown systems (PDSs) generalise pushdown systems through the use of higher-order stacks, that is, a nested “stack of stacks” structure. These systems may be us...
Mobile agents, programs that move within a system performing a set of tasks, are an active field of research. The focus of current research, however, is on the development of exe...
