Recent work has provided functions that can be used to prove a principled distinction between the capabilities of mutation-based and crossover-based algorithms. However, prior fun...
Abstract: Since von Neumann's seminal work around 1950, computer scientists and others have studied the algorithms needed to support self-replicating systems. Much of this wor...
DEC-POMDPs provide formal models of many cooperative multiagent problems, but their complexity is NEXP-complete in general. We investigate a sub-class of DEC-POMDPs termed multiage...
Resource virtualization is currently being employed at all levels of the IT infrastructure to improve provisioning and manageability, with the goal of reducing total cost of owner...
A computer package is being developed at Bayreuth for the generation and investigation of discrete structures. The package is a C and C++ class library of powerful algorithms endow...
