When agents need to interact in order to solve some (possibly common) problem, resolving potential conflicts beforehand is often preferred to coordination during execution. Agents...
In constraint satisfaction, decomposition is a common technique to split a problem in a number of parts in such a way that the global solution can be efficiently assembled from th...
In this paper we present a hybrid model for the demand acceptance variant of the routing and wavelength assignment problem in directed networks, an important benchmark problem in o...
