This paper proposes a block diagonalization (BD) method, which nullifies the multiuser interference and, hence, increases the sum capacity in a multiuser multiple-input multipleout...
This paper analyses reported difficulties in spatial data retrieval from Internet portals, based on results from an empirical survey. The analysis reveals the problems which cause ...
We present a hybrid approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction which combines incomplete, fast, penalty-based local search with complete, slower systematic search. Thus, we pr...
An explicit exploration strategy is necessary in reinforcement learning (RL) to balance the need to reduce the uncertainty associated with the expected outcome of an action and the...
Abstract— Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of methods such as evolutionary algorithms and...
