This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...

The resource constraint project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is an NP-hard benchmark problem in scheduling which takes into account the limitation of resources’ availabilities in ...
Concurrency is one of the most important issues in system-level design. Interleaving among parallel processes can cause an extremely large number of different behaviors, making de...
Most local convergence analyses of the sequential quadratic programming (SQP) algorithm for nonlinear programming make strong assumptions about the solution, namely, that the activ...
One of the more tedious and complex tasks during the specification of conceptual schemas (CSs) is modeling the operations that define the system behavior. This paper aims to simpl...
