In this work a new optimization method, called the heuristic Kalman algorithm (HKA), is presented. This new algorithm is proposed as an alternative approach for solving continuous,...
Scheduling is a key problem in distributed heterogeneous computing systems in order to benefit from the large computing capacity of such systems and is an NP-complete problem. In ...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. Existing problem domains for DCOP focus on small (<100 vari...
Concurrent engineering has been widely used in managing design projects to speed up the design process by concurrently performing multiple tasks. Since the progress of a design tas...
Abstract. The object-oriented database management systems store references to objects (implicit joins, precomputed joins), and use path expressions in query languages. One way of e...
