Engineers at Toshiba and MIRISE report embedding a quantum-inspired optimization system directly onto a mobile robot, ...

Abstract: The target assignment problem has been encountered in many fields, such as games, industrial production, and military. We study how a set of defenders can be assigned to effectively ...

ABSTRACT: The lack of semantic parts, increasing the number of Web services in the Web, and syntactic-based search operation are the main problems of current Web service technologies, these factors ...

The assignment problem is formulated and briefly discussed. An efficient algorithm for its solution is presented in ALGOL code. An empirical relation between solution time and the size of the problem ...

Bio-inspired computational methods have gained popularity recently. These methods mimic the seemingly complex behavior of organisms to tackle difficult and often overwhelming problems. For example, ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. If you want to solve a tricky problem, it often helps to get organized. You might, for example, break the problem into pieces and tackle ...

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. For computer scientists, solving problems is a bit like mountaineering. First they must choose a problem to solve—akin to identifying a ...

Power distribution systems are often conceptualized as optimization models. While optimizing agents to perform tasks works well for systems with limited checkpoints, things begin to go out of hand ...

Abstract: The problem of determining the location of the hospital's department to minimize the total distance traveled by patients can be formulated as a Quadratic assignment problem (QAP), one of the ...

Elon Musk said Jack Dorsey was right about social media algorithms. On Wednesday, Musk highlighted a video of Dorsey talking about the free speech debate. Dorsey envisioned “a marketplace of ...
