We propose a directed graphical representation of utility functions, called UCP-networks, that combines aspects of two existing preference models: generalized additive models and ...
Local search algorithms have been very successful for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSP). However, a major weakness has been that local search is unable to detect unso...
Agent-based modeling is a framework that allows the analysis of distributed command-by-influence using mission-type orders known for over a century as Auftragstaktik in German Arm...
Causality constraints of random discrete simulation make parallel and distributed processing difficult. Methods of applying reconfigurable logic to implement and accelerate simula...
This paper presents a practical undertaking to solve an industry-specific problem of facility expansion through relocation of an existing production facility to a proposed new fac...
