A pareto following variation operator for fast-converging multiobjective evolutionary algorithms
One of the major difficulties when applying Multiobjective Evolutionary Algorithms (MOEA) to real world problems is the large number of objective function evaluations. Approximate...

On the bit communication complexity of randomized rumor spreading
We study the communication complexity of rumor spreading in the random phone-call model. Suppose n players communicate in parallel rounds, where in each round every player calls a...
