Power consumption is a critical issue in interconnection network design, driven by power-related design constraints, such as thermal and power delivery design. Usually, off-line w...
In the recent years, CSP's have come to be seen as the core problem in many applications. We propose here a hybrid algorithm (MC-FC) that combines two different search method...
Abstract Competition and cooperation can boost the performance of a combinatorial search process. Both can be implemented with a portfolio of algorithms which run in parallel, give...
This paper presents a comparative study of Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) for Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). We focus on EAs where fitness is based on penalization of cons...

The integration of methods of Constraint Programming and Multi-Agent-Systems is discussed in this paper. We describe different agent topologies for Constraint Satisfaction Problem...
