A study on constrained MA using GA and SQP: Analytical vs. finite-difference gradients
— Many deterministic algorithms in the context of constrained optimization require the first-order derivatives, or the gradient vectors, of the objective and constraint function...

An equal excess negotiation algorithm for coalition formation
Coalition formation is an important form of interaction in multiagent systems. It enables the agents to satisfy tasks that they would otherwise be unable to perform, or would perf...

An Improved Integer Local Search for Complex Scheduling Problems
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
