Abstract. Evacuation planning is critical for numerous important applications, e.g. disaster emergency management and homeland defense preparation. Efficient tools are needed to pr...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
In this paper, we discuss and compare several policies to place replicas in tree networks, subject to server capacity constraints. The client requests are known beforehand, while ...
In this paper, we propose a novel approach to solving the distributed constraint optimisation problem (DCOP) that guarantees completeness, while having linear communication comple...
Scheduling plays a central role in the behavioral synthesis process, which automatically compiles high-level specifications into optimized hardware implementations. However, most ...
