The gap in automation between MIP/SAT solvers and those for constraint programming and constraint-based local search hinders experimentation and adoption of these technologies and...
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 ...
LPG is a planner that performed very well in the last International planning competition (2002). The system is based on a stochastic local search procedure, and it incorporates se...
Based on the Proximate Optimality Principle in metaheuristics, a Population Based Guided Local Search (PGLS) framework for dealing with difficult combinatorial optimization problem...
In this paper, we propose a novel and simple fast block-matching algorithm (BMA), called adaptive rood pattern search (ARPS), which consists of two sequential search stages: 1) ini...
