1 We have developed an approach to acquire complicated user optimization criteria and use them to guide iterative solution improvement. The eectiveness of the approach was tested ...
Distributed problem solving by a multiagent system represents a promising approach to solving complex computational problems. However, many multiagent systems require certain degr...
Most real-world negotiation scenarios involve multiple, interdependent issues. These scenarios are specially challenging because the agents' utility functions are nonlinear, ...
ed Abstract We present two heuristic mesh-partitioning methods, both of which build on the multiple ant-colony algorithm in order to improve the quality of the mesh partitions. The...
