Asynchronous Partial Overlay (APO) is a search algorithm that uses cooperative mediation to solve Distributed Constraint Satisfaction Problems (DisCSPs). The algorithm partitions ...
In multihop wireless sensor networks that are often characterized by many-to-one (convergecast) traffic patterns, problems related to energy imbalance among sensors often appear. S...
We design two different strategies for computing the unknown content preferences in an online social network based on a small set of nodes in the corresponding social graph for wh...
The basic idea to defend in this paper is that an adequate perception of the search space, sacrificing most of the precision, can paradoxically accelerate the discovery of the mo...
Models for sequential decision making under uncertainty (e.g., Markov decision processes,or MDPs) have beenstudied in operations research for decades. The recent incorporation of ...
