A Hybrid Approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction
We present a hybrid approach to Distributed Constraint Satisfaction which combines incomplete, fast, penalty-based local search with complete, slower systematic search. Thus, we pr...

Evidence for Invariants in Local Search
It is well known that the performance of a stochastic local search procedure depends upon the setting of its noise parameter, and that the optimal setting varies with the problem ...

Mixed Models for the Analysis of Local Search Components
We consider a possible scenario of experimental analysis on heuristics for optimization: identifying the contribution of local search components when algorithms are evaluated on th...
