A new stochastic clustering algorithm is introduced that aims to locate all the local minima of a multidimensional continuous and differentiable function inside a bounded domain. ...
Abstract. Understanding and controlling program behavior is a challenging objective for the design of advanced compilers and critical system development. In this paper, we propose ...
Abstract—When applied in a commercial deployment, DHTbased P2P protocols face a dilemma: although most real-world participants are so unstable that the maintenance overhead is pr...
The interesting properties of P2P systems (high availability despite peer volatility, support for heterogeneous architectures, high scalability, etc.) make them attractive for dist...
A quorum system is a collection of sets (quorums) every two of which intersect. Quorum systems have been used for many applications in the area of distributed systems, including mu...
