Fault tolerance is an important property of large-scale multiagent systems as the failure rate grows with both the number of the hosts and deployed agents, and the duration of com...
—Differential evolution (DE) is arguably one of the most powerful stochastic real-parameter optimization algorithms in current use. DE operates through similar computational step...
Parallel changes are becoming increasingly prevalent in the development of large scale software system. To further study the relationship between parallel changes and faults, we h...
—Secure Computation (SC) enables secure distributed computation of arbitrary functions of private inputs. It has many useful applications, e.g. benchmarking or auctions. Several ...
Abstract The advent of large-scale distributed systems poses unique engineering challenges. In open systems such as the internet it is not possible to prescribe the behaviour of al...
