Abstract-- The need for efficient computation of approximate global state lies at the heart of a wide range of problems in distributed systems. Examples include routing in the Inte...
This paper describes a new hybrid method based on the application of the Population Training Algorithm (PTA) and linear programming (LP) for generation of schedules for drivers in...
The phenomenon of particle bursts, a well-known feature of PSO is investigated. Their origin is concluded to lie in multiplicative stochasticity, previously encountered in the stu...
We consider the problem of finding obnoxious centers in graphs. For arbitrary graphs with n vertices and m edges, we give a randomized algorithm with O(n log2 n + m log n) expecte...
A problem of assigning cooperating uninhabited aerial vehicles to perform multiple tasks on multiple targets is posed as a new combinatorial optimization problem. A genetic algori...
