We present a new series of distributed constraint satisfaction algorithms, the distributed breakout algorithms, which is inspired by local search algorithms for solving the constr...
Network applications and services need to be environment-aware in order to meet non-functional requirements in increasingly dynamic contexts. In this paper we consider partition a...
—In this work we study the portfolio problem which is to find a good combination of multiple heuristics to solve given instances on parallel resources in minimum time. The resou...
Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...
We have developed a generic integer linear programming(ILP)based engineering change(EC) methodology. The EC methodology has three components: enabling, fast, and preserving. Enabl...
