In recent years different authors have proposed the used of random-walk-based algorithms for varying tasks in the networking community. These proposals include searching, routing...
Resource management is a central part of a Grid computing system. In a large-scale wide-area system such as the Grid, security is a prime concern. One approach is to be conservati...
Biological systems are far more complex and robust than systems we can engineer today. One way to increase the complexity and robustness of our engineered systems is to study how ...
