Abstract. Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is a collection of metaheuristics inspired by foraging in ant colonies, whose aim is to solve combinatorial optimization problems. We identi...
Abstract. In this paper, a Cooperative Network Game (CNG) is introduced. In this game, all players have the same goal: display a video content in real time, with no cuts and low bu...
Applying parameter adaptation means operating on parameters of an algorithm while it is tackling an instance. For ant colony optimization, several parameter adaptation methods have...
This paper gives an algorithm for finding the minimum weight tree having k edges in an edge weighted graph. The algorithm combines a search and optimization technique based on phe...
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
