A flooding-based search mechanism is often used in unstructured P2P systems. Although a flooding-based search mechanism is simple and easy to implement, it is vulnerable to overla...
Abstract. While the idea of database outsourcing is becoming increasingly popular, the associated security risks still prevent many potential users from deploying it. In particular...
We investigate scalable algorithms for automated composition (WSC) of Semantic Web Services. Our notion of WSC is very general: the composition semantics includes background knowl...
This paper investigates the ability of a tournament selection based genetic algorithm to find mutationally robust solutions to a simple combinatorial optimization problem. Two di...
Crossover in Genetic Programming is mostly a destructive operator, generally producing children worse than the parents and occasionally producing those who are better. A recently ...
