Abstract. The peer sampling service is a middleware service that provides random samples from a large decentralized network to support gossip-based applications such as multicast, ...
Real-world data is known to be imperfect, suffering from various forms of defects such as sensor variability, estimation errors, uncertainty, human errors in data entry, and gaps ...
We develop approximation algorithms for the problem of placing replicated data in arbitrary networks, where the nodes may both issue requests for data objects and have capacity fo...
This paper presents an updated version of the adaptive learning particle swarm optimizer (ALPSO) [6], we call it ALPSO-II. In order to improve the performance of ALPSO on multi-mod...
In this paper the problem of positioning a team of mobile robots for a surveillance task in a non-convex environment with obstacles is considered. The robots are equipped with glob...
