A fundamental aspect of many evolutionary approaches to synthesis of complex systems is the need to compose atomic elements into useful higher-level building blocks. However, the ...

— This work presents a methodology for the application of a parallel genetic algorithm (PGA) to the problem of protein folding prediction, using the 3DHP-Side Chain model. This m...
We present DRR-gossip, an energy-efficient and robust aggregate computation algorithm in wireless sensor networks. We prove that the DRR-gossip algorithm requires O(n) messages a...
In the last few years the use of coalition formation algorithms in multi-agent systems has been proposed as a possible way of modelling autonomous agent cooperation. Game theory pr...
