Abstract--The current framework of network utility maximization for rate allocation and its price-based algorithms assumes that each link provides a fixed-size transmission "p...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) has emerged as a useful technique for multiagent coordination. While previous DCOP work focuses on optimizing a single team objective, i...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
— In DHT based P2P systems, various issues such as peer heterogeneity, network topology, and diverse file popularity, may affect the DHT system efficiency. In this paper, we pr...
In logistics of today's economy we have to deal with distributed systems. To support the demanding management task the multi-agent approach offers promising perspectives. For ...
