CRIKEY is a planner that separates out the scheduling from the classical parts of temporal planning. This can be seen as a relaxation of the temporal information during the classic...
Scatter search is an evolutionary method that has been successfully applied to hard optimization problems. The fundamental concepts and principles of the method were first propose...
There is a tendency to overlook or play down software issues in industrial systems design. However the very best hardware will only be as effective as the programs that control it...
We consider a possible scenario of experimental analysis on heuristics for optimization: identifying the contribution of local search components when algorithms are evaluated on th...
We study the problem of structured motif search in DNA sequences. This is a fundamental task in bioinformatics which contributes to better understanding of genome characteristics a...
