Abstract. A methodology is presented for tackling mixed-integer nonlinear optimization problems by local search, in particular large-scale real-life problems. This methodology is i...
This paper deals with the Assembly Line Balancing Problem considering incompatibilities between the tasks with the aim of, first, minimizing the number of workstations and, then, ...
The stable marriage problem has a wide variety of practical applications, ranging from matching resident doctors to hospitals, to matching students to schools, or more generally to...

Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
Sets of DNA strands that satisfy combinatorial constraints play an important role in various approaches to biomolecular computation, nanostructure design, and molecular tagging. Th...
