We present a shared memory approach to the parallelization of the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic and a performance comparison with an existing message passing implemen...
This paper describes our experiences in an ongoing collaboration between our research group in Palo Alto and a similar group in Japan. The collaboration is based on semimonthly vi...

In this paper, we derive an analytical model for the evaluation of the performance of a Video on Demand (VoD) system. The model estimates the mean waiting time achievable by the P...
In this paper, we discuss a parallel tabu search algorithm with implementation in a heterogeneous environment. Two parallelization strategies are integrated: functional decomposit...
