Several constraint handling techniques have been proposed to be used with the evolutionary algorithms (EAs). According to the no free lunch theorem, it is impossible for a single c...
The problem of finding one-dimensional structures in images and videos can be formulated as a problem of searching for cycles in graphs. In [11], an untangling-cycle cost functio...
In this paper we consider the k-set agreement problem in distributed round-based systems where processes communicate by message passing. We capture the synchrony and reliability o...
To develop a science of small-group interaction in groupware, we need a method for analyzing the structure of computer-mediated discourse. Conversation analysis offers an analysis...
Abstract--Peer-to-peer (P2P) video-on-demand (VoD) is a popular Internet service for a large number of concurrent users. Streaming capacity in a P2P VoD system is defined as the ma...
