Deciding the appropriate population size and number of islands for distributed island-model genetic algorithms is often critical to the algorithm’s success. This paper outlines ...
Abstract. Due to the wide-spread use of decision support systems (DSS), methods are required by software companies. Several concepts and methods have been suggested for decision-ma...
Several agent-oriented software engineering methodologies address the emerging challenges posed by the increasing need of adaptive software. A common denominator of such methodolo...
Most applications developed today rely on a given middleware platform which governs the interaction between components, the access to resources, etc. To decide, which platform is ...
A key question in the field of agent-oriented software engineering is how the kind and extent of autonomy owned by computational agents can be appropriately captured. As long as ...
