Abstract. We present a declarative language, PP, for the specification of preferences between possible solutions (or trajectories) of a planning problem. This novel language allow...
Mobile agents have often been advocated as the solution to the problem of designing and implementing distributed applications in a dynamic environment. Mobile agents provide a ver...
Adaptive multiagent algorithms based upon the behaviour of social insects are powerful decentralised systems capable of solving complex problems. The intelligence of such a system ...
Abstract. The paper describes an evolutionary algorithm for the general nonlinear programming problem using a surrogate model. Surrogate models are used in optimization when model ...
Despite the widespread use and study of Boolean satisfiability for a diverse range of problem domains, encoding of problems is usually given to general propositional logic with li...
