Forming effective coalitions is a major research challenge in AI and multi-agent systems (MAS). Coalition Structure Generation (CSG) involves partitioning a set of agents into coa...
The problem of solving boolean combinations of difference constraints is at the core of many important techniques such as planning, scheduling, and model-checking of real-time syst...
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
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...
Space constrained optimization problems arise in a multitude of important applications such as data warehouses and pervasive computing. A typical instance of such problems is to s...
