Online algorithms are designed to make decisions sequentially, without complete knowledge of future inputs. In many real-world applications—from scheduling and resource allocation to network ...

Adaptive systems were supposed to simplify decision-making. Instead of hard-coded rules, engineers built models that could learn from data, respond to change, and improve over time. That promise still ...

Computer scientists are looking to evolutionary biology for inspiration in the search for optimal solutions among astronomically huge sets of possibilities. Creationists love to insist that evolution ...
