Nowadays, many real problems can be formalized as Distributed CSPs. A distributed constraint satisfaction problem (DisCSP) is a CSP in which variables and constraints are distribu...
Scheduling trainees (graduate students) is a complicated problem that has to be solved frequently in many hospital departments. We will describe a trainee-scheduling problem encou...
Consensus is one of the most fundamental problems in fault-tolerant distributed computing. This paper proposes a mechanical method for analyzing the condition that allows one to s...
This paper deals with the challenging problem of counting the number of solutions of a CSP, denoted #CSP. Recent progress have been made using search methods, such as BTD [15], whi...
This paper proposes a novel application of differential evolution to solve a difficult dynamic optimisation or optimal control problem. The miss distance in a missile-target engag...
