Niching for Population-Based Ant Colony Optimization
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...

A Middleware Framework for Maximum Likelihood Evaluation over Dynamic Grids
We have designed a maximum likelihood fitter using the actor model to distribute the computation over a heterogeneous network. The prototype implementation uses the SALSA program...
