The class of constraint satisfactions problems (CSPs) captures many fundamental combinatorial optimization problems such as Max Cut, Max q-Cut, Unique Games, and Max k-Sat. Recent...
In order to overcome the drawbacks of mathematical optimization techniques, soft computing algorithms have been vigorously introduced during the past decade. However, there are sti...
Abstract. Grid computing is a form of distributed computing that involves coordinating and sharing computing, application, data storage or network resources across dynamic and geog...
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...
In this paper we study a general formulation of the train platforming problem, which contains as special cases all the versions previously considered in the literature as well as a...
