NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems are common in real life. Due to their intractability, local search algorithms are often used to solve such problems. Since these algori...
Multi-agent problem domains may require distributed algorithms for a variety of reasons: local sensors, limitations of communication, and availability of distributed computational...

There is now a huge amount of high quality photometric data available in the literature whose analysis is bound to play a fundamental role in studies of the formation and evolution...
We extend the problem of association rule mining – a key data mining problem – to systems in which the database is partitioned among a very large number of computers that are ...
Irreversible computation necessarily results in energy dissipation due to information loss. While small in comparison to the power consumption of today’s VLSI circuits, if curre...
