—Differential evolution (DE) is arguably one of the most powerful stochastic real-parameter optimization algorithms in current use. DE operates through similar computational step...
—Networks of biological agents (for example, ants, bees, fish, birds) and complex man-made cyberphysical infrastructures (for example, the power grid, transportation networks) e...
In this paper we develop models for and analyze several randomized work stealing algorithms in a dynamic setting. Our models represent the limiting behavior of systems as the numb...
This paper presents a system for rendering very large collections of randomly parameterized plants while generating manageable scene geometries for rendering. A given botanical de...

We study a model that incorporates a budget constraint in a decision making problem. Our goal is to maximize the expected wealth, where in each time period we can either stop the ...
