Automated political districting shares with electronic voting the aim of preventing electoral manipulation and pursuing an impartial electoral mechanism. Political districting can...
We introduce Multi-Trials, a new technique for symmetry breaking for distributed algorithms and apply it to various problems in general graphs. For instance, we present three rand...
GENET is a heuristic repair algorithm which demonstrates impressive e ciency in solving some large-scale and hard instances of constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). In this pap...
