This paper reports on the development of a novel island model for evolutionary algorithms, which is intrinsically parallel and intended to better utilise resources and outlier sol...
Many problem-solving tasks can be formalized as constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). In a multi-agent setting, information about constraints and variables may belong to differ...
Cooperative Search Engine (CSE) is a distributed search engine, which can update indexes in very short time for the purpose of fresh information retrieval. In CSE, the retrieval p...
Distributed information retrieval is a well-known approach for accessing heterogeneous, highly autonomous sources of unstructured information. Selecting and querying only a number ...
