Recent progress in Distributed Constraint Optimization Problems (DCOP) has led to a range of algorithms now available which differ in their amount of problem centralization. Probl...
Abstract. We present a Lagrangian-based heuristic LAHA for the Winner Determination Problem in Combinatorial Auctions. The algorithm makes use of the market computing power by appl...
The growing number of web services advocates distributed discovery infrastructures which are semantics-enabled and support quality of service (QoS). In this paper, we introduce a n...
There has recently been a significant increase in the number of community-based question and answer services on the Web where people answer other peoples’ questions. These serv...
Cellular genetic algorithms (cGAs) are mainly characterized by their spatially decentralized population, in which individuals can only interact with their neighbors. In this work,...
