We introduce a foundational language for modelling applications over global computers whose interconnection structure can be explicitly manipulated. Together with process distribut...
We present an approach to self-adaptive systems utilizing explicit models of the design-space of the application. The design-space is captured by allowing the specification of alte...
We study the spatially uniform case of the problem of quasistatic evolution in small strain nonassociative elastoplasticity (Cam-Clay model). Through the introdution of a viscous a...
In a series of papers [3-8], Daida et. al. highlighted the difficulties posed to Genetic Programming (GP) by the complexity of the structural search space, and attributed the probl...
Positional ranking functions, widely used in web search engines, improve result quality by exploiting the positions of the query terms within documents. However, it is well known ...
