This paper proposes a method to use reference points as preferences to guide a particle swarm algorithm to search towards preferred regions of the Pareto front. A decision maker c...
High-quality meshes are essential in the solution of partial differential equations (PDEs), which arise in numerous science and engineering applications, as the mesh quality aff...
A new efficient MRF optimization algorithm, called FastPD, is proposed, which generalizes -expansion. One of its main advantages is that it offers a substantial speedup over that ...
Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
