Evolutionary algorithms have employed the SAW (Stepwise Adaptation of Weights) method in order to solve CSPs (Constraint Satisfaction Problems). This method originated in hill-clim...
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
Variants of the decentralized MDP model focus on problems exhibiting some special structure that makes them easier to solve in practice. Our work is concerned with two main issues...
This paper suggests a new building block for cryptographic protocols and gives two instantiations of it. The concept is to generate two descriptions of the same group: a public des...
As agent systems are solving more and more complex tasks in increasingly challenging domains, the systems themselves are becoming more complex too, often compromising their adapti...
