We consider optimizing the coalition structure in Coalitional Skill Games (CSGs), a succinct representation of coalitional games (Bachrach and Rosenschein 2008). In CSGs, the valu...
A distributed search algorithm for solving distributed constraint satisfaction problems (DisCSPs) is presented. The proposed algorithm is composed of multiple search processes (SP...
In [Jegou, 1993], a decomposition method has been introduced for improving search efficiency in the area of Constraint Satisfaction Problems. This method is based on properties of...
Current search engines can hardly cope adequately with fuzzy predicates defined by complex preferences. The biggest problem of search engines implemented with standard SQL is that...
Allen’s interval calculus is one of the most prominent formalisms in the domain of qualitative spatial and temporal reasoning. Applications of this calculus, however, are restric...
