Recombination (also called crossover) operators are widely used in EAs to generate offspring solutions. Although the usefulness of recombination has been well recognized, theoretic...
Genetic algorithms are a robust adaptive optimization technique based on a biological paradigm. They perform efficient search on poorly-defined spaces by maintaining an ordered po...
Constraint programming uses enumeration and search tree pruning to solve combinatorial optimization problems. In order to speed up this solution process, we investigate the use of...
—In the past few years, peer-to-peer (P2P) networks have become a promising paradigm for building a wide variety of distributed systems and applications. The most popular P2P app...
Generating good, production-quality plans is an essential element in transforming planners from research tools into real-world applications, but one that has been frequently overl...
