Many approximation algorithms have been presented in the last decades for hard search problems. The focus of this paper is on cryptographic applications, where it is desired to de...
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...
Abstract. In this paper, a real-life routing and scheduling problem encountered is addressed. The problem, which consists in optimizing the delivery of fluids by tank trucks on a ...
Abstract. A Video-on-Demand system usually consists of a large number of independent video servers. In order to utilize network resources as efficiently as possible the overall net...
Abstract. Private keyword search is a technique that allows for searching and retrieving documents matching certain keywords without revealing the search criteria. We improve the s...
