The declarative modeling language Alloy and its automatic analyzer provide an effective tool-set for building designs of systems and checking their properties. The Alloy Analyzer p...
This paper merges hierarchical reinforcement learning (HRL) with ant colony optimization (ACO) to produce a HRL ACO algorithm capable of generating solutions for large domains. Th...
A computer package is being developed at Bayreuth for the generation and investigation of discrete structures. The package is a C and C++ class library of powerful algorithms endow...
: One focus of current software development is the re-use of components in the construction of systems. Software Adaptation facilitates the consequent need to adapt these component...
Combinatorial auctions, that is, auctions where bidders can bid on combinations of items, tend to lead to more efficient allocations than traditional auction mechanisms in multi-i...
