We consider soft constraint problems where some of the preferences may be unspecified. This models, for example, settings where agents are distributed and have privacy issues, or ...

Motivation: Protein–protein complexes are known to play key roles in many cellular processes. However, they are often not accessible to experimental study because of their low s...
The overlap number of a finite (d + 1)-uniform hypergraph H is the largest constant c(H) (0, 1] such that no matter how we map the vertices of H into Rd , there is a point covered...

Conservation of information (COI) popularized by the no free lunch theorem is a great leveler of search algorithms, showing that on average no search outperforms any other. Yet in ...
The global search properties of heuristic search algorithms are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a new metric, mobility, that quantifies the dispersion of local o...
