A multi-agent VRP solver is presented in this paper. It utilizes the contract-net protocol based allocation and several improvement strategies. It provides the solution with the q...
Program dynamic optimization, adaptive to runtime behavior changes, has become increasingly important for both performance and energy savings. However, most runtime optimizations o...
Abstract. While Web Services ensure interoperability and extensibility for networked applications, they also complicate the deployment of highly collaborative systems, such as virt...
