Jon B. Weissman Division of Computer Science University of Texas at San Antonio San Antonio, TX 78249 USA (210-458-5689 voice, 210-458-4437 fax) ([email protected]) Abstract Obtaining efficient execution of parallel programs in workstation networks is a difficult problem for the user. Unlike dedicated parallel computer resources, network resources are shared, heterogeneous, vary in availability, ...

Measurement of serum or plasma and brain cholinesterase (ChE) activities in wild birds is used to diagnose and monitor their exposure to organophosphate and carbamate insecticides (Marden et al., 1994; Burn & Leighton, 1996; Iko et al., 2002; Osten et al., 2005). Reduced enzyme activity is an indicator of exposure and adverse effects of anti ChE insecticides even in the absence of overt signs o...

This work proposes the Cultural Greedy Ant (CGrAnt) protocol to solve the problem of data delivery in opportunistic and intermittently connected networks referred to as Delay Tolerant Networks (DTNs). CGrAnt is a hybrid Swarm Intelligence-based forwarding protocol designed to address the dynamic and complex environment of DTNs. CGrAnt is based on: (1) Cultural Algorithms (CA) and Ant Colony Opt...

According to cohen venavi, a classic Hebrew essay by Ekhad Ha-Am, there are two ways of serving God: Priest and Prophet. The priest is a very skilled technician who knows by heart the 613 mitzvahs, and who can slaughter a lamb with due regard to the many rigorous and subtle laws. On the other hand, a prophet is often very clumsy in the day-to-day ritual, and is unable to sacrifice an animal pro...

This document is a product of the Delay Tolerant Networking Research Group and has been reviewed by that group. No objections to its publication as an RFC were raised. This document defines PRoPHET, a Probabilistic Routing Protocol using History of Encounters and Transitivity. PRoPHET is a variant of the epidemic routing protocol for intermittently connected networks that operates by pruning th...
