In this paper, we propose QROUTE, an integrated framework for QoS-guaranteed multicast routing, in which a feasible multicast tree meeting multiple QoS constraints can be construc...
Abstract. This paper presents two different efficiency-enhancement techniques for probabilistic model building genetic algorithms. The first technique proposes the use of a mutatio...
When multiple agents are in a shared environment, there usually exist constraints among the possible actions of these agents. A distributed constraint satisfaction problem (distrib...
Professional sports leagues are a major economic activity around the world. Teams and leagues do not want to waste their investments in players and structure in consequence of poo...
The problem of figure-ground separation is tackled from the perspective of combinatorial optimization. Previous attempts have used deterministic optimization techniques based on re...
