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...
We define a number of original encodings, called regular encodings, that map Max-CSP instances into Partial MaxSAT instances. First, we obtain new direct and (minimal) support en...
Combinatorial auctions (CAs) are important mechanisms for allocating interrelated items. Unfortunately, winner determination is NP-complete unless there is special structure. We s...

Abstract. We propose a hybrid approach for solving the resource-constrained project scheduling problem which is an extremely hard to solve combinatorial optimization problem of pra...
We study the NP-complete TARGET SET SELECTION (TSS) problem occurring in social network analysis. Complementing results on its approximability and extending results for its restric...
