We consider soft constraint problems where some of the preferences may be unspecified. This models, for example, settings where agents are distributed and have privacy issues, or ...

Purpose – This paper aims to report on the results of an analysis of the computer security problem space, to suggest the areas with highest potential for making progress in the ...
We present a region-based active contour detection algorithm for objects that exhibit relatively homogeneous photometric characteristics (e.g. smooth color or gray levels), embedd...

We consider the problem of retrieving multiple documents relevant to the single subtopics of a given web query, termed “full-subtopic retrieval”. To solve this problem we pres...

We present a new hybrid algorithm for local search in distributed combinatorial optimization. This method is a mix between classical local search methods in which nodes take decis...
