String kernels directly model sequence similarities without the necessity of extracting numerical features in a vector space. Since they better capture complex traits in the seque...
Agent-based simulation provides a methodology to investigate complex systems behavior, such as supply chains, while incorporating many empirical elements relative to both systems ...
We present the basic concepts of experimental design, the types of goals it can address, and why it is such an important and useful tool for simulation. A well-designed experiment...
Complete algorithms have been proposed to solve problems modelled as distributed constraint optimization (DCOP). However, there are only few attempts to address real world scenari...
: Many real world problems appear naturally as constraints satisfaction problems (CSP), for which very efficient algorithms are known. Most of these involve the combination of two ...
