Although each iteration of the popular kMeans clustering heuristic scales well to larger problem sizes, it often requires an unacceptably-high number of iterations to converge to ...
In this paper we study a complex real-world workforce scheduling problem. We propose a method of splitting the problem into smaller parts and solving each part using exhaustive sea...

Planning systems for real-world applications need the ability to handle concurrency and numeric fluents. Nevertheless, the predominant approach to cope with concurrency followed b...
The bounded diameter minimum spanning tree problem is an NP-hard combinatorial optimization problem arising in particular in network design. There exist various exact and metaheuri...
