Despite the importance of the management of inventory in industrial scheduling applications, there has been little research that has addressed reasoning about inventory directly a...
This paper describes how meta-level theories are used for analytic learning in M U L T I - T A C . M U L T I - T A C operationalizes generic heuristics for constraint-satisfaction...
Surprisingly, general search heuristics often solve combinatorial problems quite sufficiently, although they do not outperform specialized algorithms. Here, the behavior of simple...
We present a cryptographic protocol for conducting efficient, provably correct and secrecy-preserving combinatorial clock-proxy auctions. The “clock phase” functions as a trust...

An important problem in search engine advertising is keyword1 generation. In the past, advertisers have preferred to bid for keywords that tend to have high search volumes and hen...
