An approach is proposed for generating homogenous three-staged cutting patterns for the constrained two-dimensional guillotinecutting problems of rectangles. It is based on branch...
Timetabling problems are constraint optimization problems proven to be NP complete. Furthermore, evaluation of violations is costly, and there is no common data format for represen...
The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
In order to give people ubiquitous access to software applications, device controllers, and Internet services, it will be necessary to automatically adapt user interfaces to the c...
Memory-bounded techniques have shown great promise in solving complex multi-agent planning problems modeled as DEC-POMDPs. Much of the performance gains can be attributed to pruni...
