We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
This paper presents an e cient recursive algorithm for generating operationally optimal intra mode scalable layer decompositions of object contours. The problem is posed in terms ...
A hitting set for a collection of sets is a set that has a nonempty intersection with each set in the collection; the hitting set problem is to find a hitting set of minimum card...

The (Euclidean) Vehicle Routing Allocation Problem (VRAP) is a generalization of Euclidean TSP. We do not require that all points lie on the salesman tour. However, points that do ...
Guided by the goal of obtaining an optimization algorithm that is both fast and yields good generalization, we study the descent direction maximizing the decrease in generalizatio...
