We study the problem of optimal preemptive scheduling with respect to a general target function. Given n jobs with associated weights and m ≤ n uniformly related machines, one a...
Coarse grain parallelism inherent in the solution of Linear Programming (LP) problems with block angular constraint matrices has been exploited in recent research works. However, t...
Auction methods have been successfully used for coordinating teams of robots in the multi-robot routing problem, a representative domain for multi-agent coordination. Solutions to...
The Creative Problem-Solving Research Group (CPSRG) at Lancaster University is a collaboration between psychologists and computer scientists conducting research into creativity, p...
