Utility elicitation is a critical function of any automated decision aid, allowing decisions to be tailored to the preferences of a specific user. However, the size and complexit...
In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which multiple users have distinct preferences. However, making su...
Product recommendation and decision support systems must generally develop a model of user preferences by querying or otherwise interacting with a user. Recent approaches to elici...
Decentralized resource allocation is a key problem for large-scale autonomic (or self-managing) computing systems. Motivated by a data center scenario, we explore efficient techn...
