Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
The importance of distributed systems is growing as computing devices become ubiquitous and bandwidth becomes plentiful. Concurrency and distribution pose algorithmic and implemen...
— Approximating the sum of Log–Normal random variables (RVs) is a long–standing open issue, in the old and recent literature, and many approaches have been proposed to deal w...

Metamodels are functions with calibrated parameters, used actions and simplifications of the simulation model. A metamodel exposes the system’s input-output relationship and ca...
Abstract. In this paper we describe a novel concept for reliability analysis of communication architectures in safety-critical systems. This concept has been motivated by applicati...
