Overload can reduce the overall performance of a computer system up to a point where the whole service might collapse. Thus, for example the load on a server must be controlled to...
the emergence of Internet and new kind of architecture, likepeer-to-peer (P2P) networks, provides great hope for distributed computation. However, the combination of the world of ...
Multiagent systems is an attractive problem solving approach that is becoming ever more feasible and popular in today’s world. It combines artificial intelligence (AI) and distr...
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...
Abstract. AND/OR search spaces have recently been introduced as a unifying paradigm for advanced algorithmic schemes for graphical models. The main virtue of this representation is...
