The weighted CSP (WCSP) framework is a soft constraint framework with a wide range of applications. In this paper, we consider the problem of maintaining local consistency during ...
We investigate the use of probabilistic models and cost-benefit analyses to guide the operation of a Web-based question-answering system. We first provide an overview of research ...

In this paper we study a rich vehicle routing problem incorporating various complexities found in real-life applications. The General Vehicle Routing Problem (GVRP) is a combined ...
—Nonparametric belief propagation (NBP) is one of the best-known methods for cooperative localization in sensor networks. It is capable to provide information about location esti...
A novel stochastic searching scheme based on the Monte Carlo optimization is presented for polygonal approximation (PA) problem. We propose to combine the split-and-merge based lo...
