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...
The issue of data broadcast has received much attention in mobile computing. A periodic broadcast of frequently requested data can reduce the workload of the up-link channel and f...
Abstract. Computing lower bounds to the best-cost extension of a tuple is an ubiquous task in constraint optimization. A particular case of special interest is the computation of l...
This work describes a forward-looking approach for the solution of dynamic (time-changing) problems using evolutionary algorithms. The main idea of the proposed method is to combi...
