Abstract. This paper proposes an algorithm for combinatorial optimizations that uses reinforcement learning and estimation of joint probability distribution of promising solutions ...
A number of Integer Linear Program (ILP) formulations for both static and dynamic lightpath allocation have been proposed, for the design of survivable WDM networks. However, such ...
We consider deployment problems where a mobile robotic network must optimize its configuration in a distributed way in order to minimize a steady-state cost function that depends ...
In large-scale distributed virtual environments (DVEs), the NP-hard zone mapping problem concerns how to assign distinct zones of the virtual world to a number of distributed serv...

We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
