An important problem in distributed systems is to detect termination of a distributed computation. A computation is said to have terminated when all processes have become passive ...
We show how global constraints such as transitivity can be treated intensionally in a Zero-One Integer Linear Programming (ILP) framework which is geared to find the optimal and c...
Necessary first-order sequential optimality conditions provide adequate theoretical tools to justify stopping criteria for nonlinear programming solvers. These conditions are sati...
In a distributed system, a number of application tasks may need to be assigned to different processors such that the system cost is minimized and the constraints with limited reso...
When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...
