In this paper, we propose new dominance relations that can speed up significantly the solution process of nonlinear constrained dynamic optimization problems in discrete time and...
To keep pace with constantly changing markets, many companies are seeking strategic partnerships. In this paper, we assume that a company can electronically provide a profile of th...
The Steel Mill Slab Problem is an optimization benchmark that has been studied for a long time in the constraint-programming community but was only solved efficiently in the two l...

Recent research on compact genetic algorithms (cGAs) has proposed a number of evolutionary search methods with reduced memory requirements. In cGAs, the evolution of populations is...
Abstract. We describe a simple CSP formalism for handling multi-attribute preference problems with hard constraints, one that combines hard constraints and preferences so the two a...
