Many web-based systems have a tiered application architecture, in which a request needs to transverse all the tiers before finishing its processing. One of the most important QoS...
Evolving solutions rather than computing them certainly represents an unconventional programming approach. The general methodology of evolutionary computation has already been know...
We study the memory requirements of self-stabilizing leader election (SSLE) protocols. We are mainly interested in two types of systems: anonymous systems and id-based systems. We...
