The problem of finding a local minimum of a black-box function is central for understanding local search as well as quantum adiabatic algorithms. For functions on the Boolean hype...
— The present paper introduces a replication method that is meant to balance the storage load of peers in unstructured peer-to-peer (P2P) networks for file sharing and to provid...
Abstract. The adaptive noise mechanism was introduced in Novelty+ to automatically adapt noise settings during the search [4]. The local search algorithm G2 WSAT deterministically ...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
The simplicity and robustness of unstructured P2P system make it a preferable architecture for constructing real large scale file sharing system. Most of the existing paradigms re...
