This paper summarizes the author's recent work in distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). New local algorithms, as well as theoretical results about the types of solution...
The sequential parameter optimization (spot) package for R (R Development Core Team, 2008) is a toolbox for tuning and understanding simulation and optimization algorithms. Model-...
We consider the global optimization problem for d-variate Lipschitz functions which, in a certain sense, do not increase too slowly in a neighborhood of the global minimizer(s). O...
We introduce a new class of compiler heuristics: hybrid optimizations. Hybrid optimizations choose dynamically at compile time which optimization algorithm to apply from a set of d...

Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
