Abstract. The paper presents a new distributed Multilevel Ant Stigmergy Algorithm (MASA) for minimizing the power losses in an electric motor by optimizing the independent geometri...
Digital signal processing applications are implemented in embedded systems with fixed-point arithmetic to minimize the cost and the power consumption. To reduce the application ti...
Abstract. In this paper, we propose a general framework for designing fully polynomial time approximation schemes for combinatorial optimization problems, in which more than one ob...
A key feature of modern optimal planners such as Graphplan and Blackbox is their ability to prune large parts of the search space. Previous Partial Order Causal Link (POCL) planne...
Discrete optimization problemsarise throughout many real world domainsincluding planning, decision making, and search. NP-hardin general, these problems require novel approachesto...
