Relay selection for cooperative communications promises significant performance improvements, and is, therefore, attracting, considerable attention. While several criteria have be...
Robots operating in a workspace can localize themselves by querying nodes of a sensor-network deployed in the same workspace. This paper addresses the problem of computing the min...
We consider the problem of dynamically hedging the profits of a corporation when these profits are correlated with returns in the financial markets. In particular, we consider the...
Abstract. We address the general problem of determining the validity of boolean combinations of equalities and inequalities between real-valued expressions. In particular, we consi...
This paper considers the problem of scheduling two-operation non-preemptable jobs on two identical semiautomatic machines. A single server is available to carry out the first (or ...
We use game theory to analyze meta-learning algorithms. The objective of meta-learning is to determine which algorithm to apply on a given task. This is an instance of a more gene...
Decentralized Markov Decision Processes are a powerful general model of decentralized, cooperative multi-agent problem solving. The high complexity of the general problem leads to...
In this paper, an object-oriented unified optimization framework (UOF) for general problem optimization is proposed. Based on evolutionary algorithms, numerical deterministic meth...
In this paper we show how CR-Prolog, a recent extension of A-Prolog, was used in the successor of USA-Advisor (USA-Smart) in order to improve the quality of the plans returned. The...
The problem of optimal matrix partitioning for parallel linear algebra on p heterogeneous processors is typically reduced to the geometrical problem of partitioning a unit square ...
