Negotiation techniques have been demonstrated to be effective in solving complex multi-objective problems. When the optimization process operates on continuous variables, it can b...
Abstract. With the emerging mass production of very small, cheap Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags, it is becoming feasible to deploy such tags on a large scale. In this ...
Metaheuristic approaches to examination timetabling problems are usually split up into two phases: initialisation phase in which a heuristic is employed to construct an initial sol...
Abstract. Randomization is of paramount importance in practical applications and randomized algorithms are used widely, for example in co-ordinating distributed computer networks, ...
This paper presents an agent-based software environment for testing web-based applications. The infrastructure of the system consists of a lightweight agent platform that supports...
