Preferences in constraint problems are common but significant in many real world applications. In this paper, we extend our conditional and composite CSP (CCCSP) framework, managi...
A genetic algorithm encoding is proposed which is able to automatically satisfy a class of important cardinality constraints where the set of distinct values of the design variabl...
Abstract. This paper presents a hybridization of a Constraint Programming (CP) model and search techniques with Local Search (LS) and some ideas borrowed from Genetic Algorithms (G...

— In this paper, the performance assessment of the hybrid Archive-based Micro Genetic Algorithm (AMGA) on a set of bound-constrained synthetic test problems is reported. The hybr...

The Unit Commitment Problem (UCP) is the task of finding an optimal turn on and turn off schedule for a group of power generation units over a given time horizon to minimize ope...
