Abstract--The generalized minimum vertex-biconnected network problem plays an important role in the design of survivable backbone networks that should be fault tolerant to single c...
In order to overcome the drawbacks of mathematical optimization techniques, soft computing algorithms have been vigorously introduced during the past decade. However, there are sti...
This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...

Abstract. Reasoning about social networks (labeled, directed, weighted graphs) is becoming increasingly important and there are now models of how certain phenomena (e.g. adoption o...

The point placement problem is to determine the positions of a linear set of points, P = {p1, p2, p3, . . . , pn}, uniquely, up to translation and reflection, from the fewest poss...
