In this paper, we study phase transition behavior emerging from the interactions among multiple agents in the presence of noise. We propose a simple discrete-time model in which a...
The scheduling of social golfers has attracted significant attention in recent years because of its highly symmetrical and combinatorial nature. In particular, it has become one o...
Abstract. This paper reconsiders the deployment of synchronous optical networks (SONET), an optimization problem naturally expressed in terms of set variables. Earlier approaches, ...
Since their beginning in constraint programming, set solvers have been applied to a wide range of combinatorial search problems, such as bin-packing, set partitioning, circuit desi...
Symmetry in constraint problems can be exploited to greatly improve search performance. A form of symmetry that has been the subject of considerable research is value interchangeab...
