The existing searching schemes in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) networks are either forwarding-based or non-forwarding based. In forwarding-based schemes, queries are forwarded from the quer...
We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
Recently Peer-to-Peer networks (P2P) have gained great attention and popularity. One key challenging aspect in a P2P resource sharing environment is an efficient searching algorit...
Background: The protein folding problem is a fundamental problems in computational molecular biology and biochemical physics. Various optimisation methods have been applied to for...
