We introduce a new plan repair method for problems cast as Mixed Integer Programs. In order to tackle the inherent complexity of these NP-hard problems, our approach relies on the ...

Abstract--Evidence-based decision making is becoming increasingly important in healthcare. Much valuable evidence is in the form of the results from clinical trials that compare th...
When a local optimal solution is reached with classical Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), all particles in the swarm gather around it, and escaping from this local optima becomes...

Abstract--Reliability and/or availability are increasingly important aspects in the design of systems, especially networks and service offerings. Optimization here is a multi-crite...
In this paper, we introduce a new partial consistency for constraint networks which is called Structural Consistency of level w and is denoted w-SC consistency. This consistency i...
A significant body of work in multiagent systems over more than two decades has focused on multi-agent coordination (1). Many challenges in multi-agent coordination can be modeled ...
In this paper, we present an analysis of different approaches relative to the correction of belief functions based on the results given by a confusion matrix. Three different mecha...
In recent years, with the rapid proliferation of digital images, the need to search and retrieve the images accurately, efficiently, and conveniently is becoming more acute. Automa...
The aim of this paper is to study how preferences, which are used to model intrinsic strengths of arguments, can be used in argumentation. We show that they play two roles: i) to r...
Ensemble pruning is concerned with the reduction of the size of an ensemble prior to its combination. Its purpose is to reduce the space and time complexity of the ensemble and/or ...
