Hash tables are an essential data-structure for numerous networking applications (e.g., connection tracking, rewalls, network address translators). Among these, cuckoo hash tables provide excellent performance by allowing lookups to be processed with very few memory accesses (2 to 3 per lookup). Yet, for large tables, cuckoo hash tables remain memory bound and each memory access impacts perform...

BACKGROUND Antagonistic species often interact via matching of phenotypes, and interactions between brood parasitic common cuckoos (Cuculus canorus) and their hosts constitute classic examples. The outcome of a parasitic event is often determined by the match between host and cuckoo eggs, giving rise to potentially strong associations between fitness and egg phenotype. Yet, empirical efforts ai...

The performance analysis of optimization techniques is very important to understand the strengths and weaknesses of each technique. It is not very common to find an optimization technique that performs equally on all optimization problems, and the numbers offered by the most common performance measures, the achieved function value (fitness) and the number of function evaluations, are not repres...

Received Nov 22, 2017 Revised Jan 20, 2018 Accepted Feb 23, 2018 This paper projects an Integrated Algorithm (IA) for solving optimal reactive power problem. Quick convergence of the Cuckoo Search (CS), the vibrant root change of the Firefly Algorithm (FA), and the incessant position modernization of the Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has been combined to form the Integrated Algorithm (IA). ...

In this paper, an efficient approach of combining additive expression tree model (AET) with hybrid evolutionary method is proposed to identify nonlinear systems. As linear variant of additive tree model, additive expression tree model is proposed to encode the mathematical formulations. For finding the optimal structure and parameters of systems, a hybrid evolutionary method integrating a new s...

Remote sensing data is a collection of images and interpretation of information about an object, area, or event without any physical contact with it. Aircraft and satellites are common remote sensing platforms for earth and its natural sources. Remote sensing’s ability to identify and monitor land surfaces and environmental conditions expanded over years with remote sensed data being essential ...

Coevolution between antagonistic species has produced instances of exquisite mimicry. Among brood-parasitic cuckoos, host defences have driven the evolution of mimetic eggs, but the evolutionary arms race was believed to be constrained from progressing to the chick stage, with cuckoo nestlings generally looking unlike host young. However, recent studies on bronze-cuckoos have confounded theoret...

This paper is centered around the design of a threadand memory-safe language, primarily for the compilation of application-specific services for extensible operating systems. We describe various issues that have influenced the design of our language, called Cuckoo, that guarantees safety of programs with potentially asynchronous flows of control. Comparisons are drawn between Cuckoo and related...

In coevolutionary arms races, like between cuckoos and their hosts, it is easy to understand why the host is under selection favouring anti-parasitism behaviour, such as egg rejection, which can lead to parasites evolving remarkable adaptations to 'trick' their host, such as mimetic eggs. But what about cases where the cuckoo egg is not mimetic and where the host does not act against it? Classi...
