Recently, the publish-subscribe communication model has attracted the attention of developers as a viable alternative to traditional communication schemas, like request/reply, for...
We analyze the performance of protocols for load balancing in distributed systems based on no-regret algorithms from online learning theory. These protocols treat load balancing a...
The timely detection that a monitored variable has crossed a given threshold is a fundamental requirement for many network management applications. A challenge is the detection of ...
This paper discusses a simple representation of variable-dimensional optimization problems for evolutionary algorithms. Although it was successfully applied to the optimization of ...
Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) often consist of applications that access shared resources such as databases. Since centralized systems may have a great impact on the system...
