Consider the problem of membership query for a given partially ordered set. We devise a greedy algorithm which can produce near-optimal search strategies. Rigorous analysis has be...
Distributed constraint satisfaction, in its most general acceptation, involves a collection of agents solving local constraint satisfaction subproblems, and a communication protoco...
This paper combines the idea of a hierarchical distributed genetic algorithm with different interagent partnering strategies. Cascading clusters of sub-populations are built from ...
We reexamine fundamental problems from computational geometry in the word RAM model, where input coordinates are integers that fit in a machine word. We develop a new algorithm fo...
Internet search companies sell advertisement slots based on users' search queries via an auction. While there has been previous work on the auction process and its game-theor...
