This paper introduces a new design methodology (we call it "innovization") in the context of finding new and innovative design principles by means of optimization techni...
We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
We present several applications in computational geometry of Megiddo's parametric searching technique. These applications include: (1) Finding the minimum Hausdorff distance ...
An ensemble is a group of learning models that jointly solve a problem. However, the ensembles generated by existing techniques are sometimes unnecessarily large, which can lead t...
—In this paper, the multiple trajectory search (MTS) is presented for large scale global optimization. The MTS uses multiple agents to search the solution space concurrently. Eac...
