We present a new formulation of distributed task assignment, called Generalized Mutual Assignment Problem (GMAP), which is derived from an NP-hard combinatorial optimization probl...
We study the following variant of the bin packing problem. We are given a set of items, where each item has a (non-negative) size and a color. We are also given an integer paramet...
The problem of approximating a given set of data points by splines composed of Pythagorean Hodograph (PH) curves is addressed. In order to solve this highly non-linear problem, we ...
Abstract- An evolutionary algorithm for the optimization of a function with real parameters is described in this paper. It uses a cooperative co-evolution to breed and reproduce su...
—We present solutions to two problems that prevent the effective use of population-based algorithms in clustering problems. The first solution presents a new representation for ...
