Abstract. In this paper, we present a constraint-partitioning approach for finding local optimal solutions of large-scale mixed-integer nonlinear programming problems (MINLPs). Ba...
The aim of this work is to analyze the applicability of crowding differential evolution to unsupervised clustering. The basic idea of this approach, interpreting the clustering pr...
Visualization of multidimensional data by means of Multidimensional Scaling (MDS) is a popular technique of exploratory data analysis widely usable, e.g. in analysis of bio-medica...
Cooperation among autonomous agents has been discussed in the DAI community for several years. Papers about cooperation 6,45 , negotiation 33 , distributed planning 5 , and coalit...
Global optimization can be used as the main component for reliable decision support systems. In this contribution, we explore numerical solution techniques for nonconvex and nondi...
