We consider the Bounded Diameter Minimum Spanning Tree problem and describe four neighbourhood searches for it. They are used as local improvement strategies within a variable nei...
A distributed constraint satisfaction problem (Distributed CSP) is a CSP in which variables and constraints are distributed among multiple automated agents, and various application...
This paper presents our implementation techniques for an intelligent Web image search engine. A reference architecture of the system is provided and addressed in this paper. The s...
