In component-based systems, fault-tolerance concerns are typically handled by manually programmed fault containers. The purpose of fault containers is to prevent error propagation...
: River Formation Dynamics (RFD) is an evolutionary computation method based on copying how drops form rivers by eroding the ground and depositing sediments. Given a cost-evaluated...
In an era that, searching the WWW for information becomes a tedious task, it is obvious that mainly search engines and other data mining mechanisms need to be enhanced with charact...
We study G/G/n + GI queues in which customer patience times are independent, identically distributed following a general distribution. When a customer’s waiting time in queue ex...
