Searching bio-chemical structures is becoming an important application domain of information retrieval. This paper introduces a protein structure matching problem and formulates i...
Many real-world constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be over-constrained but contain a set of mandatory or hard constraints that have to be satisfied for a solution to be ac...
The AI optimization algorithm called "Squeaky-Wheel Optimization" (SWO) has proven very effective in a variety of real-world applications. Although the ideas behind SWO ...
Checking CSP consistency is shown, in theory, to be an NP-complete problem. There is two families of methods for CSP consistency checking. The first family holds the complete meth...
Abstract-- Recently, the research on quantum-inspired evolutionary algorithms (QEA) has attracted some attention in the area of evolutionary computation. QEA use a probabilistic re...
