Abstract. Since minimum sum-of-squares clustering (MSSC) is an NPhard combinatorial optimization problem, applying techniques from global optimization appears to be promising for r...
This paper presents a technique, called GENH, that automatically generates search heuristics for scheduling problems. The impetus for developing this technique is the growing cons...

This work presents the concept of Continuous Search (CS), which objective is to allow any user to eventually get their constraint solver achieving a top performance on their proble...
Optimization in sports is a field of increasing interest. A novel problem in sports management is the Referee Assignment Problem, in which a limited number of referees with differe...
