Robust Local Search and Its Application to Generating Robust Schedules
In this paper, we propose an extended local search framework to solve combinatorial optimization problems with data uncertainty. Our approach represents a major departure from sce...

Evaluating bidding strategies for simultaneous auctions
Bidding for multiple items or bundles on online auctions raises challenging problems. We assume that an agent has a valuation function that returns its valuation for an arbitrary ...

Highest Utility First Search Across Multiple Levels of Stochastic Design
Manydesign problems are solved using multiple levels of abstraction, wherea design at one level has combinatorially manychildren at the next level. A stochastic optimization metho...

A study of NK landscapes' basins and local optima networks
We propose a network characterization of combinatorial fitness landscapes by adapting the notion of inherent networks proposed for energy surfaces [5]. We use the well-known fami...

Challenges in the compilation of a domain specific language for dynamic programming
Many combinatorial optimization problems in biosequence analysis are solved via dynamic programming. To increase programming productivity and program reliability, a domain specifi...
