Combinatorial Auctions (CAs), where users bid on combination of items, have emerged as a useful tool for resource allocation in distributed systems. However, two main difficulties...
We present different techniques for reducing the number of states and transitions in nondeterministic automata. These techniques are based on the two preorders over the set of st...
One of the key points in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms (EDAs) is the learning of the probabilistic graphical model used to guide the search: the richer the model the more ...
One of the difficulties to adapt MDPs for the control of cooperative multi-agent systems, is the complexity issued from Decentralized MDPs. Moreover, existing approaches can not ...
In software testing, it is often desirable to find test inputs that exercise specific program features. To find these inputs by hand is extremely time-consuming, especially whe...
