Summary of My Research

I have investigated all aspects (including theory, methodology, and applications) of optimization and satisfaction. My major interest is to extend a traditional framework into a realistic environment having distributed or dynamic nature. I am working on the field related to Artificial Intelligence and Operations Research. My major past and current projects are as follows.

Ship Collision Avoidance
Algorithmic Game Theory
Dynamic Constraint Satisfaction
Generalized Mutual Assignment
Distributed Constraint Optimization
Distributed Constraint Satisfaction
