Abstract. Stochastic Local Search (SLS) is a simple and effective paradigm for attacking a variety of Combinatorial (Optimization) Problems (COP). However, it is often non-trivial...
Sets of DNA strands that satisfy combinatorial constraints play an important role in various approaches to biomolecular computation, nanostructure design, and molecular tagging. Th...
Distributed computing is increasingly important at a time when the doubling of the number of transistors on a processor every 18 months no longer translates in a doubling of speed ...
Production planning is an important task in manufacturing systems. We consider a real-world capacitated lot-sizing problem (CLSP) from the process industry. Because the problem re...
