The distributed task allocation problem occurs in domains like web services, the grid, and other distributed systems. In this problem, the system consists of servers and mediators...
Given a universe U of n elements and a weighted collection S of m subsets of U, the universal set cover problem is to a-priori map each element u ∈ U to a set S(u) ∈ S contain...
We study propagation algorithms for the conjunction of two ALLDIFFERENT constraints. Solutions of an ALLDIFFERENT constraint can be seen as perfect matchings on the variable/value...

This paper describes an evolvable hardware (EHW) system for generalized neural network learning. We have developed an ASIC VLSI chip, which is a building block to configure a scal...
Recent work on BitTorrent has shown that the choke/unchoke mechanism implements an auction where each peer tries to induce other peers into "unchoking" it by uploading m...
