Many of standard practical techniques of solving constraint satisfaction problems use various decomposition methods to represent a problem as a combination of smaller ones. We stu...
New methods to generate hard random problem instances have driven progress on algorithms for deduction and constraint satisfaction. Recently Achlioptas et al. (AAAI 2000) introduc...

In this paper we present a destructive lower bound for a number of resource constrained project scheduling (RCPS) problems, which is based on column generation. We first look at t...

We give examples of situations where formal specifications of procedures in the standard pre/postcondition style become lengthy, cumbersome and difficult to change, a problem whic...

The Flexible Job Shop scheduling Problem (FJSP) is a generalization of the classical Job Shop Problem in which each operation must be processed on a given machine chosen among a f...
