In this thesis, we describe a genetic algorithm for optimizing the superpeer structure of semantic peer to peer networks. Peer to peer, also called P2P, networks enable us to sear...

We introduce the following consensus estimate problem. Several processors hold private and possibly different lower bounds on a value. The processors do not communicate with each ...
Abstract. Real life scheduling problems are solved by heuristics with parameters defined by experts, as usual. In this paper a new approach is proposed where the parameters of vari...
We describe a quantum black-box network computing the majority of N bits with zerosided error using only 2 3 N + O( N log( -1 log N)) queries: the algorithm returns the correct an...

Aggregation of data values plays an important role on distributed computations, in particular over peer-to-peer and sensor networks, as it can provide a summary of some global sys...
