In complex distributed applications, a problem is often decomposed into a set of subproblems that are distributed to multiple agents. We formulate this class of problems with a tw...
Scheduling jobs with pairwise conflicts is modeled by the graph multicoloring problem. It occurs in two versions: in the preemptive case, each vertex may get any set of colors, w...
In this paper, we study the spectrum assignment problem for wireless access networks. Opportunistic spectrum usage is a promising technology. However, it could suffer from the self...
We study the profit-maximization problem of a monopolistic market-maker who sets two-sided prices in an asset market. The sequential decision problem is hard to solve because the ...
Background: Protein structure comparison is a key problem in bioinformatics. There exist several methods for doing protein comparison, being the solution of the Maximum Contact Ma...
