This contribution presents a new class of MRF, that is inspired by methods of statistical physics. The new energy function assumes full-connectivity in the neighborhood system and...
A multi-agent system is a network of software agents that cooperate to solve problems. In open multi-agent systems, the agents that need resources provided by other agents are not ...
We define the robustness of a sequential plan as the probability that it will execute successfully despite uncertainty in the execution environment. We consider a rich notion of u...
We show that a random walk on a tournament on n vertices finds either a sink or a 3-cycle in expected time O √ n · log n · log∗ n , that is, sublinear both in the size of th...
A Messy Genetic Algorithm is customized toflnd'optimal many-to-many matches for 2D line segment models. The Messy GA is a variant upon the Standard Genetic Algorithm in which...
