In this paper we examine the effects of the emergence of a new replicator, memes, on the evolution of a pre-existing replicator, genes. Using a version of the NKCS model we examin...
This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
In software product line (SPL) development, evolutions occur in core assets and application products. How to ensure their alignment in evolution is a big challenge. Products in an...
In this paper, we describe two mission critical applications currently deployed by Telecom Italia in the Operations Support System domains. The first one called "Network Neut...
Abstract. This paper discusses schema evolution in software engineering databases. After a study of existing approaches, we show that these approaches do not satisfy software engin...
