Essentially all work studying the round complexity of secure computation assumes broadcast as an atomic primitive. Protocols constructed under this assumption tend to have very poo...
The aggregation of conflicting preferences is a central problem in multiagent systems. The key difficulty is that the agents may report their preferences insincerely. Mechanism ...
— This paper presents Evolutionary Optimization Tool (Evoptool), an optimization toolkit that implements a set of meta-heuristics based on the Evolutionary Computation paradigm. ...
Local search (LS) algorithms are among the most powerful techniques for solving computationally hard problems in combinatorial optimization. These algorithms could be viewed as &q...
An important problem in distributed systems is to detect termination of a distributed computation. A computation is said to have terminated when all processes have become passive ...
