A Polynomial-Time Approximation Algorithm for Weighted Sum-Rate Maximization in UWB Networks
— Scheduling in an ad hoc wireless network suffers from the non-convexity of the cost function, caused by the interference between communication links. In previous optimization t...

Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

Localized Temporal Reasoning: A State-Based Approach
We are concerned with temporalreasoning problems where there is uncertainty about the order in which events occur. The task of temporal reasoning is to derive an event sequence co...

A New Incomplete Method for CSP Inconsistency Checking
Checking CSP consistency is shown, in theory, to be an NP-complete problem. There is two families of methods for CSP consistency checking. The first family holds the complete meth...
