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...
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...

Bioinformatics algorithms such as sequence alignment methods based on profile-HMM (Hidden Markov Model) are popular but CPU-intensive. If large amounts of data are processed, a s...

This paper describes the development and use of an extensible service provider toolkit (ESP) for an Earth Science service-oriented architecture (SOA). Grid-enabled Earth Science a...
: A relatively new meta-heuristic, known as extremal optimisation (EO), is based on the evolutionary science notion that poorly performing genes of an individual are replaced by ra...
