This paper proposes an evolutionary framework where a network service is created from a group of autonomous agents that interact and evolve. Agents in our framework are capable of ...
This article describes a new model of probability density function and its use in estimation of distribution algorithms. The new model, the distribution tree, has interesting prope...
Numerous projects have evaluated the performance of CORBA middleware over the past decade. Interestingly, many of the published results are either gathered or analyzed imprecisely...
Optimizations performed at link time or directly applied to final program executables have received increased attention in recent years. Such low-level optimizations can benefit...
