Constraints and quantitative preferences, or costs, are very useful for modelling many real-life problems. However, in many settings, it is difficult to specify precise preference ...

We consider the problem of transistor sizing in a static CMOS layout to minimizethe power consumption of the circuit subject to a given delay constraint. Based on our characteriza...

Ensuring truthfulness amongst self-interested agents bidding against one another in an auction can be computationally expensive when prices are determined using the Vickrey-Clarke-...
This paper describes a new approach to unify constraints on parameters with training data to perform parameter estimation in Bayesian networks of known structure. The method is ge...
Abstract. There are many domains in which a multi-agent system needs to maximize a "system utility" function which rates the performance of the entire system, while subje...
