Abstract. The paper describes an evolutionary algorithm for the general nonlinear programming problem using a surrogate model. Surrogate models are used in optimization when model ...
Abstract. We describe a mechanism based on distributed Event-ConditionAction (ECA) rules that supports data coordination in a multidatabase setting. The proposed mechanism includes...
Abstract. In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which users have preferences. We consider the problem of...
Abstract. As the number of web pages increases dramatically, the problem of the information overload becomes more severe when browsing and searching the WWW. To alleviate this prob...
Abstract. Current self-healing systems are built from “convergent” actions that only make repairs when necessary. Using an algebraic model of system administration, we challeng...
