— We present an ant model that solves a discrete foraging problem. We describe simulations and provide a complete convergence analysis: we show that the ant population computes t...
Optimizing combinations of placements of parts, known as markers, is an important preparatory step in order-based industrial production of clothes. Given a work order in the form ...
Real life optimization problems often require finding optimal solution to complex high dimensional, multimodal problems involving computationally very expensive fitness function e...
The following distributed coalescence protocol was introduced by Dahlia Malkhi in 2006 motivated by applications in social networking. Initially there are n agents wishing to coal...
This paper introduces a linear programming (LP) technique that performs ratedistortion based optimization for constrained video coding. Given the assumption of piecewise linear an...
