There are two reasons for parallelizing a metaheuristic if one is interested in performance: (i) given a fixed time to search, the aim is to increase the quality of the solutions f...
Cooperative multi-agent systems are ones in which several agents attempt, through their interaction, to jointly solve tasks or to maximize utility. Due to the interactions among t...
The discrete particle swarm optimization (DPSO) is a kind of particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to find optimal solutions for discrete problems. This paper proposes an i...
Abstract—In this paper we consider wireless cooperative multihop networks, where nodes that have decoded the message at the previous hop cooperate in the transmission toward the ...
A wide range of low level vision problems have been formulated in terms of finding the most probable assignment of a Markov Random Field (or equivalently the lowest energy configu...
