Evolutionary models typically rely on a single level of evolution for training a team of cooperating agents. I present a model that evolves at two levels—an “organizational”...
Abstract. The paper presents a new look-ahead scheme for backtracking search for solving constraint satisfaction problems. This look-ahead scheme computes a heuristic for value ord...
This paper studies the optimal placement of web files for en-route web caching. It is shown that existing placement policies are all solving restricted partial problems of the ...
A reason to distribute constraint satisfaction is privacy: agents may not want to share their values, and they may wish to keep constraints as private as possible. In this paper, w...
We present an efficient base algorithm for binding-time analysis based on constraint solving and the union-find algorithm. In practice it has been used to handle all of Standard M...
