Abstract. As the scale and scope of multi-agent systems grow, it becomes increasingly important to design and manage the manner in which the participants interact. The potential fo...
Abstract. To practically solve NP-hard combinatorial optimization problems, local search algorithms and their parallel implementations on PVM or MPI have been frequently discussed....
We propose and study a technique to improve the performance of those local-search SAT solvers that proceed by executing a prespecified number of tries, each starting with an eleme...
