Abstract. More real systems have many components and their simulation requires significant execution times. The practical needs have conducted to distributed simulation rather tha...
This paper presents a novel discrete population based stochastic optimization algorithm inspired from weed colonization. Its performance in a discrete benchmark, timecost trade-off...
We consider query optimization techniques for data intensive P2P applications. We show how to adapt an old technique from deductive databases, namely Query-Sub-Query (QSQ), to a s...
We consider a general model of stochastic discrete event systems with asynchronous events, and propose to develop efficient algorithms for verification and control of such systems...
This paper discusses the use of simulation in a new context. Most often QUEST is viewed as a stand-alone simulation tool to analyze and understand shop floor behavior. It has rare...
