Combinatorial auctions (CAs) have emerged as an important model in economics and show promise as a useful tool for tackling resource allocation in AI. Unfortunately, winner determ...
Our motivation for this work is the remarkable discovery that many large-scale real-world graphs ranging from Internet and World Wide Web to social and biological networks exhibit ...
Advances in networking and transmission of digital multimedia data will bring soon huge catalogues of music to users. Accessing these catalogues raises a problem for users and con...
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...
The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
