Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is a key technique for solving multiagent coordination problems. Unfortunately, finding minimal-cost DCOP solutions is NP-hard. We there...
Many combinatorial optimization problems such as the bin packing and multiple knapsack problems involve assigning a set of discrete objects to multiple containers. These problems ...
We consider the problem of finding a set of attribute values that give a high quality binary segmentation of a database. The quality of a segmentation is defined by an objective fu...
Biometric fusion consolidates the output of multiple biometric classifiers to render a decision about the identity of an individual. We consider the problem of designing a fusion s...
This paper introduces an efficient algorithm for Producing Early Results in Multi-join query plans (PermJoin, for short). While most previous research focuses only on the
case of ...
