Abstract. The heavy-tailed phenomenon that characterises the runtime distributions of backtrack search procedures has received considerable attention over the past few years. Some ...
We present a new heuristic approach for maximal constraint satisfaction of overconstrained problems (MAX-CSP). This approach is based on a formulation of CSP as an optimization pro...
Over the last few years, more and more heuristic decision making techniques have been inspired by nature, e.g. evolutionary algorithms, ant colony optimisation and simulated annea...
Layered Manufacturing is a technology that allows physical prototypes of three-dimensional models to be built directly from their digital representation, as a stack of two-dimensi...

The AI optimization algorithm called "Squeaky-Wheel Optimization" (SWO) has proven very effective in a variety of real-world applications. Although the ideas behind SWO ...
