Variants of the decentralized MDP model focus on problems exhibiting some special structure that makes them easier to solve in practice. Our work is concerned with two main issues...
Induction of recursive theories in the normal ILP setting is a complex task because of the non-monotonicity of the consistency property. In this paper we propose computational solu...

It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...
We present a mathematical framework for the so-called multidisciplinary free material optimization (MDFMO) problems, a branch of structural optimization in which the full material ...
Cooperative coevolution is often used to solve difficult optimization problems by means of problem decomposition. Its performance on this task is influenced by many design decisio...
