Load balancing is a critical issue for the efficient operation of peerto-peer networks. We give two new load-balancing protocols whose provable performance guarantees are within a...
Clustering can be defined as a data assignment problem where the goal is to partition the data into nonhierarchical groups of items. In our previous work, we suggested an informati...
Distributed Virtual Environment (DVE) systems have been designed last years as a set of distributed servers. These systems allow a large number of remote users to share a single 3...
In this paper we apply a heuristic method based on artificial neural networks (NN) in order to trace out the efficient frontier associated to the portfolio selection problem. We...
