Niching is an important technique for multimodal optimization. Most existing niching methods require specification of certain niching parameters in order to perform well. These nic...
Several attempts have been made in the past to construct encoding schemes that allow modularity to emerge in evolving systems, but success is limited. We believe that in order to c...
Supermarkets lose millions of pounds every year through lost trading and stock wastage caused by the failure of refrigerated cabinets. Therefore, a huge commercial market exists fo...
We analyze various stochastic processes for generating permutations almost uniformly at random in distributed and parallel systems. All our protocols are simple, elegant and are b...
Shared memory multiprocessors play an increasingly important role in enterprise and scientific computing facilities. Remote misses limit the performance of shared memory applicat...
