Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA) are similar to genetic algorithms except that they replace crossover and mutation with sampling from an estimated probability distributi...

We study a new class of decentralized algorithms for discrete optimization via simulation, which is inspired by the fictitious play algorithm applied to games with identical inte...
Abstract. This paper describes the application of four evolutionary algorithms to the pruning of neural networks used in classification problems. Besides of a simple genetic algor...
Some distributed constraint optimization algorithms use a linear number of messages in the number of agents, but of exponential size. This is often the main limitation for their pr...
