Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) try to solve an optimization problem by finding a probability distribution focussed around its optima. For this purpose they conduct ...
Software systems are subject to increasing complexity and in need of efficient structuring. Multi-agent system research has come up with approaches for an organization-oriented co...
Rough set theory has been primarily known as a mathematical approach for analysis of a vague description of objects. This paper explores the use of rough set theory to manage the ...
We consider models for bargaining in social networks, in which players are represented by vertices and edges represent bilateral opportunities for deals between pairs of players. ...
