Public data sharing is utilized in a number of businesses to facilitate the exchange of information. Privacy constraints are usually enforced to prevent unwanted inference of info...
Design decisions for complex, component-based systems impact multiple quality of service (QoS) properties. Often, means to improve one quality property deteriorate another one. In ...

When the epistasis of the fitness function is bounded by a constant, we show that the expected fitness of an offspring of the (1+1)-EA can be efficiently computed for any point...
