Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are widely used in stochastic optimization. Impressive experimental results have been reported in the literature. However, little work ...
We study an economic setting in which a principal motivates a team of strategic agents to exert costly effort toward the success of a joint project. The action taken by each agent...
Power consumption has become an increasingly important constraint in high-performancecomputing systems, shifting the focus from peak performance towards improving power efficiency...
The ability to detect object size, location and movement is essential for a visual system in either a biological or man made environment. In this paper we present a model for esti...
