We present a cooperative parallel tabu search method for the fixed charge, capacitated, multicommodity network design problem. Several communication strategies are analyzed and co...
We consider the problem of finding the optimal pair of string patterns for discriminating between two sets of strings, i.e. finding the pair of patterns that is best with respect...
A key problem in multi-agent systems research is identifying appropriate techniques to facilitate effective cooperation between agents. In this paper, we investigate the efficacy o...
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...
Abstract. In this paper, we empirically investigate the NP-hard problem of finding sparsest solutions to linear equation systems, i.e., solutions with as few nonzeros as possible. ...
