: We adapt a combinatorial optimization algorithm, extremal optimization (EO), for the search problem in computational protein design. This algorithm takes advantage of the knowled...
In this paper, we address one of the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) management problems – optimization on the execution of multiple commands. The objective of the paper is to pro...
Constraint satisfaction has been applied with great success in closed-world scenarios, where all options and constraints are known from the beginning and fixed. With the internet,...
When learning a mixture model, we suffer from the local optima and model structure determination problems. In this paper, we present a method for simultaneously solving these prob...
—We consider constrained minimization of a sum of convex functions over a convex and compact set, when each component function is known only to a specific agent in a timevarying...
