In the last few years the use of coalition formation algorithms in multi-agent systems has been proposed as a possible way of modelling autonomous agent cooperation. Game theory pr...
Abstract The use of mobile sensors is of great relevance to monitor critical areas where sensors cannot be deployed manually. The presence of data collector sinks causes increased ...
We investigate an inherent limitation of top-down decision tree induction in which the continuous partitioning of the instance space progressively lessens the statistical support o...
A variety of hybrid genetic algorithms has been recently proposed to address the vehicle routing problem with time windows (VRPTW), a problem known to be NP-hard. However, very few...
It is well known that many hard tasks considered in machine learning and data mining can be solved in an rather simple and robust way with an instance- and distance-based approach....
