Wide-area distributed applications are frequently limited by the performance of Internet data transfer. We argue that the principle cause of this effect is the poor interaction be...
Abstract - The paper describes how a formal model of selfadaptation [Angeline, 1995] can be expressed in terms of Cultural Algorithms. A particular form of self-adaptation concerns...
The problem of routing and wavelength assignment (RWA) in wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) optical networks consists in routing a set of lightpaths and assigning a wavelength...

In this paper, we address the problem of power dissipation minimization in combinational circuits implemented using pass transistor logic (PTL). We transform the problem of power ...
In this paper we tackle the task assignment problem (TSAP) in heterogeneous computer systems. The TSAP consists of assigning a given distributed computer program formed by a numbe...
