This paper presents an evaluation of two orthogonal schemes for improving the efficiency of solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs). The first scheme involves a class of p...
In recent years, interval constraint-based solvers have shown their ability to efficiently solve challenging non-linear real constraint problems. However, most of the working syst...
Abstract. The general timetabling problem is an assignment of activities to xed time intervals, adhering to a prede ned set of resource availabilities. Timetabling problems are di ...
This paper highlights a phenomenon that causes deductively learned knowledge to be harmful when used for problem solving. The problem occurs when deductive problem solvers encount...
Although the ant metaphor has been successfully applied to routing of data packets both in wireless and fixed networks, little is known yet about its appropriateness for search i...
