We describe a general approach to optimization which we term Squeaky Wheel" Optimization SWO. In SWO, a greedy algorithm is used to construct a solution which is then analyze...
Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) have been very successful in problem-solving tasks ranging from resource allocation and scheduling to configuration and design. Increasingly...
Existing data grid scheduling systems handle huge data I/O via replica location services coupled with simple staging, decoupled from scheduling of computing tasks. However, when th...
Complete algorithms have been proposed to solve problems modelled as distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). However, there are only few attempts to address real world scenari...
Systems of autonomous agents providing automated services over the Web are fast becoming a reality. Often these agent systems are constructed using procedural architectures that pr...
