Type abstraction and intensional type analysis are features seemingly at odds--type abstraction is intended to guarantee parametricity and representation independence, while type ...
We propose to use high-level Petri nets as a model for the semantics of high-level parallel systems. This model is known to be useful for the purpose of verification and we show t...
Learning agents, whether natural or artificial, must update their internal parameters in order to improve their behavior over time. In reinforcement learning, this plasticity is ...
Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...
Due to the breakdown of Dennardian scaling, the percentage of a silicon chip that can switch at full frequency is dropping exponentially with each process generation. This utiliza...
