Multi-Agent Systems are a promising way of dealing with large complex problems. However, it is not yet clear just how much complexity or pre-existing structure individual agents m...
Branch, cut, and price (BCP) is an LP-based branch and bound technique for solving large-scale discrete optimization problems (DOPs). In BCP, both cuts and variables can be generat...
Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
The vector-clock size necessary to characterize causality in a distributed computation is bounded by the dimension of the partial order induced by that computation. In an arbitrar...
of other components. This abstract presents an implemented illustration of such explicit component synergy and its usefulness in dynamic multi-agent environments. In such environme...
