The choice of the selection method used in an evolutionary algorithm may have considerable impacts on the behavior of the entire algorithm. Therefore, earlier work was devoted to t...
Let S be a p × p random matrix having a Wishart distribution Wp(n, n−1Σ). For testing a general covariance structure Σ = Σ(ξ), we consider a class of test statistics Th = n...
Distributed negotiation schemes offer one approach to agreeing an allocation of resources among a set of individual agents. Such schemes attempt to agree a distribution via a sequ...
— Distributed simulators are increasingly being used for their intrinsic advantages in terms of reusability, fault tolerance, performance, and geographic distribution. The develo...
Searching for non-text data (e.g., images) is mostly done by means of metadata annotations or by extracting the text close to the data. However, supporting real content-based audi...
