Energy consumption by computer systems has emerged as an important concern. However, the energy consumed in executing an algorithm cannot be inferred from its performance alone: i...
This paper proposes a cache hierarchy that enables Web search engines to efficiently process user queries. The different caches in the hierarchy are used to store pieces of data w...
In this paper we present AntNet, a novel adaptive approach to routing tables learning in packet-switched communications networks. AntNet is inspired by the stigmergy model of commu...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
A boosting algorithm based on cellular genetic programming to build an ensemble of predictors is proposed. The method evolves a population of trees for a fixed number of rounds an...
