Many AI tasks can be formalized as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs), which involve finding values for variables subject to constraints. While solving a CSP is an NP-complet...
In this paper, we develop a general model, called Latency-Rate servers (LR servers), for the analysis of traffic scheduling algorithms in broadband packet networks. The behavior of...
This paper addresses distributed task allocation in complex scenarios modeled using the distributed constraint optimization problem (DCOP) formalism. We propose and evaluate a nov...

Branch-and-bound algorithms are general methods applicable to various combinatorial optimization problems and parallelization is one of the most hopeful methods to improve these a...
We compare different statistical characterizations of a set of strings, for three different histogram-based distances. Given a distance, a set of strings may be characterized by it...
