We develop an approach in which we model communication protocols via commitment machines. Commitment machines supply a content to protocol states and actions in terms of the social...
—Much of the computational complexity in employing evolutionary algorithms as optimization tool is due to the fitness function evaluation that may either not exist or be computat...

This paper deals with ranking and selection problem via simulation. We present an optimal computing budget allocation technique which can select the best of k simulated designs. T...
Multi-Agent Agreement problems (MAP) - the ability of a population of agents to search out and converge on a common state - are central issues in many multi-agent settings, from d...
In this work, a novel optimization framework is proposed that allows the improvement of Quality of Service levels in TCP/IP based networks, by configuring the routing weights of ...
