Combinatorial optimization problems in the real world are ubiquitous. Practical applications include planning, scheduling, distributed control, resource allocation, etc. These problems often involve multiple agents and can be formulated as a Multiagent Constraint Optimization Problem (MCOP). A major challenge in such systems is the agent coordination, such that a global optimal outcome is achie...

Many rare and endemic species experience increased rates of self-fertilization and mating among close relatives as a consequence of existing in small populations within isolated habitat patches. Variability in self-compatibility among individuals within populations may reflect adaptation to local demography and genetic architecture, inbreeding, or drift. We use experimental hand-pollinations un...
