Abstract. The resolution of combinatorial optimization problems can greatly benefit from the parallel and distributed processing which is characteristic of neural network paradigm...
This paper presents a precise market model for a well-defined class of distributed configuration design problems. Given a design problem, the model defines a computational economy...
Relay selection for cooperative communications promises significant performance improvements, and is, therefore, attracting, considerable attention. While several criteria have be...
In this paper we consider the problem of managing and exploiting schedules in an uncertain and distributed environment. We assume a team of collaborative agents, each responsible ...

We consider the problem of finding a ranking of a set of elements that is "closest to" a given set of input rankings of the elements; more precisely, we want to find a p...
