Significant advances have been made in the last two decades for the effective solution of mixed integer non-linear programming (MINLP) problems, mainly by exploiting the special s...
The car sequencing problem involves scheduling cars along an assembly line while satisfying capacity constraints. In this paper, we describe an Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algor...
In many multi-agent applications such as distributed sensor nets, a network of agents act collaboratively under uncertainty and local interactions. Networked Distributed POMDP (ND...
Abstract. The building block hypothesis implies that the epistatic property of a given problem must be connected well to the linkage property of the employed representation and cro...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) provides a rich framework for modeling multi-agent coordination problems. Existing problem domains for DCOP focus on small (<100 vari...
