We consider a real-world problem arising in a warehouse for spare parts. Items ordered by customers shall be collected and for this purpose our task is to determine efficient picku...
The paper presents a method for generating solutions of a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) uniformly at random. The main idea is to express the CSP as a factored probability d...
We describe MarketSAT, a highly decentralized, marketbased algorithm for propositional satisfiability. The approach is based on a formulation of satisfiability as production on a ...
In the paper we present a new evolutionary algorithm for induction of regression trees. In contrast to the typical top-down approaches it globally searches for the best tree struct...
Recent work has introduced a simulation model of ecological processes in terms of a very simple Particle Swarm algorithm. This abstract model produced qualitatively realistic beha...
