This presents a study in which a high level abstract architecture was used to design open multi-agent systems and virtual organizations that offer services with temporal constraint...
Abstract One approach to predict the secondary structure of RNA is the comparative approach. This approach is used when alignment of several homologous sequences of a RNA is availa...
In previous work, a new approach called Open CSP (OCSP) was defined as a way of integrate information gathering and problem solving. Instead of collecting all variable values befor...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, where constraints and/or partial assignments are associated to preference or importance levels, and constraints are...
We study a stochastic optimization problem that has its roots in financial portfolio design. The problem has a specified deterministic objective function and constraints on the co...
