We present a new polynomial-space algorithm for solving Distributed Constraint Optimization problems (DCOP). The algorithm, called NCBB, is branch and bound search with modificati...
In this paper, we propose an extended local search framework to solve combinatorial optimization problems with data uncertainty. Our approach represents a major departure from sce...
The hurdles in solving Constrained Optimization Problems (COP) arise from the challenge of searching a huge variable space in order to locate feasible points with acceptable solut...

In this paper, a new model of Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs), Distributed PMBGA (DPMBGA), is proposed. In the DPMBGA, the correlation among the design var...
In many practical engineering design problems, the form of objective function is not given explicitly in terms of design variables. Given the value of design variables, under this ...
