String pattern matching is a computationally expensive task, and when implemented in hardware, it can consume a large amount of resources for processing and storage. This paper pr...
An optimal sensor layout is attained when a limited number of sensors are placed in an area such that the cost of the placement is minimised while the value of the obtained inform...

Design decisions for complex, component-based systems impact multiple quality of service (QoS) properties. Often, means to improve one quality property deteriorate another one. In ...

In this paper, we consider algorithms for distributed constraint optimisation problems (DCOPs). Using a potential game characterisation of DCOPs, we decompose six distributed DCOP...

Software systems have to be changed continuously and evolutionarily throughout the whole time of their development and usage. Meanwhile, the software systems have to remain flexi...
