This work introduces a general mathematical framework for non-stationary fitness functions which enables the exact definition of certain problem properties. The properties' in...
Air traffic management offers an intriguing real world challenge to designing large scale distributed systems using evolutionary computation. The ability to evolve effective air t...
We study the behavior of the classical A∗ search algorithm when coupled with a heuristic that provides estimates, accurate to within a small multiplicative factor, of the distan...
We consider probabilistic constrained linear programs with general distributions for the uncertain parameters. These problems generally involve non-convex feasible sets. We develo...
Developers of distributed systems routinely construct discrete-event simulations to help understand and evaluate the behavior of inter-component protocols. Simulations are abstrac...
