This paper deals with the challenging problem of counting the number of solutions of a CSP, denoted #CSP. Recent progress have been made using search methods, such as BTD [15], whi...
Distributed constraint optimization (DCOP) is a promising approach to coordination, scheduling and task allocation in multi agent networks. In large-scale or low-bandwidth network...

We develop a simulated annealing technique to jointly optimize a distributed quantization structure meant to maximize the asymptotic error exponent of a downstream classifier or d...
The banking industry regularly mounts campaigns to improve customer value by offering new products to existing customers. In recent years this approach has gained significant mome...
The paper describes a constraint-based solution to the protein folding problem on face-centered cubic lattices—a biologically meaningful approximation of the general protein fol...
