Design Strategies for Open-Ended Evolution

Designing an Open-ended Distributed File System in Aster

In today's eld of distributed computing there is a need for platforms allowing the easy development and automated con guration of applications consisting of heterogeneous software modules and running on heterogeneous hardware platforms. Aster is a distributed programming system that permits the programmer to construct a distributed application regardless to the physical characteristics of the h...

An Open Ended Tree

An open ended list is a well known data structure in Prolog programs. It is frequently used to represent a value changing over time, while this value is referred to from several places in the data structure of the application. A weak point in this technique is that the time complexity is linear in the number of updates to the value represented by the open ended list. In this programming pearl w...

Open-Ended Configurations of Radio Telescopes: Towards Optimal Design

The quality of radio astronomical images drastically depends on where we place the radio telescopes. During the design of the Very Large Array, it was empirically shown that the power law design, in which n-th antenna is placed at a distance n from the center, leads to the best image quality. In this paper, we provide a theoretical justiication for this empirical fact.
