— There are two fundamental technology issues that challenge the robustness of IP backbones. First, SONET protection is gradually being removed because of its high cost (while SO...
This paper describes the application of an arti cial immune system, AIS, model to a scheduling application, in which sudden changes in the scheduling environment require the rap...
— Multi-robot systems require efficient and accurate planning in order to perform mission-critical tasks. However, algorithms that find the optimal solution are usually computa...
We prove optimal lower bounds for multilinear circuits and for monotone circuits with bounded depth. These lower bounds state that, in order to compute certain functions, these cir...
The increase in the complexity of modern software has led to the commensurate growth in the size and execution time of the test suites for these programs. In order to address this...
