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...
Abstract Column generation techniques have become a widely used technique to successfully solve large (integer) linear programs. One of the keys to obtaining a practically efficien...
Trial-based approaches offer an efficient way to solve singleagent MDPs and POMDPs. These approaches allow agents to focus their computations on regions of the environment they en...
This paper considers the design of two-layered fully interconnected networks.A two-layered network consists of clusters of nodes, each defining an access network and a backbone n...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a general framework that can model complex problems in multi-agent systems. Several current algorithms that solve general DCOP instan...
