Stochastic optimization problems attempt to model uncertainty in the data by assuming that (part of) the input is specified in terms of a probability distribution. We consider the...
To improve the performance of transactional memory (TM), researchers have found many eager and lazy optimizations for conflict detection, the process of determining if transaction...
Skeletal parallel programming enables us to develop parallel programs easily by composing ready-made components called skeletons. However, a simplycomposed skeleton program often l...
Abstract. The recently introduced family of natural evolution strategies (NES), a novel stochastic descent method employing the natural gradient, is providing a more principled alt...
Mobile Ad-hoc Networks (MANETs) are composed of a set of communicating devices which are able to spontaneously interconnect without any pre-existing infrastructure. In such scenar...
