This paper presents an efficient heuristic algorithm to design a power distribution network of a chip by employing a successive partitioning and grid refinement scheme. In an it...
Generalized geometric programming (GGP) is an optimization method in which the objective function and constraints are nonconvex functions. Thus, a GGP problem includes multiple lo...
In distributed constraint optimization problems, dynamic programming methods have been recently proposed (e.g. DPOP). In dynamic programming many valuations are grouped together i...
Evolutionary testing denotes the use of evolutionary algorithms, e.g., Genetic Algorithms (GAs), to support various test automation tasks. Since evolutionary algorithms are heuris...
In this paper we apply three Neuro-Evolution (NE) methods as controller design approaches in a collective behavior task. These NE methods are Enforced Sub-Populations, MultiAgent ...
