Abstract. Multi-Point Constructive Search maintains a small set of “elite solutions” that are used to heuristically guide constructive search through periodically restarting se...
Abstract. In an increasing number of domains such as bioinformatics, combinatorial graph problems arise. We propose a novel way to solve these problems, mainly those that can be tr...
The aggregation of individuals’ preferences into a single group outcome is both well-studied and fundamental within decision theory. Historically, though, a pervasive simplifica...
In this paper we show how Constraint Programming (CP) techniques can improve the efficiency and applicability of grid-based algorithms for optimising surface contact between comple...
The two most popular backtrack algorithms for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs) are Forward Checking (FC) and Maintaining Arc Consistency (MAC). MAC maintains full ar...
