Design patterns for semaphores
This paper describes two design patterns that are powerful tools to help teach how semaphores are used to solve synchronization problems. The patterns are general enough to be use...

The resource pooling principle
Since the ARPAnet, network designers have built localized mechanisms for statistical multiplexing, load balancing, and failure resilience, often without understanding the broader ...

A model-driven framework for representing and applying design patterns
Design patterns encode proven solutions to recurring design problems. To use a design pattern properly, we need to 1) understand the design problem the pattern resolves, 2) recogn...

Cheating for problem solving: a genetic algorithm with social interactions
We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary...
