Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) topology has significant influence on the performance, search efficiency and functionality, and scalability of the application. In this paper, we present a Gen...
A flexible neural network (FNN) is a multilayer feedforward neural network with the characteristics of: (1) overlayer connections; (2) variable activation functions for different...
Piecewise-linear (PWL) neural networks are widely known for their amenability to digital implementation. This paper presents a new algorithm for learning in PWL networks consistin...
