We propose an efficient method that applies directed soft arc consistency to a Distributed Constraint Optimization Problem (DCOP) which is a fundamental framework of multi-agent ...
Abstract— The localization problem is to determine an assignment of coordinates to nodes in a wireless ad-hoc or sensor network that is consistent with measured pairwise node dis...

We present an approximation scheme for optimizing certain Quadratic Integer Programming problems with positive semidefinite objective functions and global linear constraints. Thi...
Abstract. This paper presents a framework to define an objective measure of the similarity (or dissimilarity) between two images for image processing. The problem is twofold: 1) de...
