Selecting quality services over the Internet is tedious because it requires looking up of potential services, and yet the qualities of these services may evolve with time. Existin...
Many real-world applications of AI require both probability and first-order logic to deal with uncertainty and structural complexity. Logical AI has focused mainly on handling com...
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...
Local search is a specialization of the web search that allows users to submit geographically constrained queries. However, one of the challenges for local search engines is to un...
Abstract. This paper extends a recently proposed model for combinatorial landscapes: Local Optima Networks (LON), to incorporate a first-improvement (greedyascent) hill-climbing a...
