Abstract. Coordination and Adaptation are two key issues when developing complex distributed systems. Coordination focuses on the interaction among computational entities. Adaptati...
Distributed System design is a highly complicated and non-trivial task. The problem is characterised by the need to design multi-threaded, multi-processor, and multimedia systems....
This paper discusses a new model of parallel evolutionary algorithms (EAs) called the specialized island model (SIM) that can be used to generate a set of diverse non-dominated sol...
Vehicle routing problem (VRP) is a well-known combinatorial optimization and nonlinear programming problem seeking to service a number of customers with a fleet of vehicles. This ...
A geometrical modelling tool allowing construction of models of living cells and their organelles would facilitate understanding of biological processes at the cellular level. Her...
