Distributing Flexibility to Enhance Robustness in Task Scheduling Problems

Temporal scheduling problems occur naturally in many diverse application domains such as manufacturing, transportation, health and education. A scheduling problem arises if we have a set of temporal events (or variables) and some constraints on those events, and we have to find a schedule, which is an assignment of values to the variables that...

Evaluation and Improvement of Laruelle-Widgrén Inverse Banzhaf Approximation

Voting is a popular way of reaching decisions in multi-agent systems. Weighted voting in particular allows different agents to have varying levels of influence on the decision taken: each agent’s vote carries a weight, and a proposal is accepted if the sum of the weights of the agents in favor of the proposal is at least equal to a given quota....
