Multi-item, multi-unit negotiations in industrial procurement pose serious challenges to buying agents when trying to determine the best set of providering agents’ offers. Typic...
Negotiation events in industrial procurement involving multiple, highly customisable goods pose serious challenges to buying agents when trying to determine the best set of provid...
The quantum query complexity of searching for local optima has been a subject of much interest in the recent literature. For the d-dimensional grid graphs, the complexity has been...
