Concurrent, object-oriented programs often use thread-safe library classes. Existing techniques for testing a thread-safe class either rely on tests using the class, on formal spe...
Performing experimental evaluation of fault tolerant distributed systems is a complex and tedious task, and automating as much as possible of the execution and evaluation of exper...
In this paper we deal with the problem of finding an optimal query execution plan in database systems. We improve the analysis of a polynomial-time approximation algorithm due to M...
We propose a technique for reducing the energy spent in the memory-processor interface of an embedded system during the execution of firmware code. The method is based on the idea ...

The restarted Rosenbrock’s optimization algorithm is tested on the BBOB 2009 testbed. The algorithm turned out to be very efficient for functions with simple structure (independ...
