We apply the dead-end elimination (DEE) strategy from protein design as a heuristic for the max-flow/min-cut formulation of the image segmentation problem. DEE combines aspects of...
Research in the field of examination timetabling has developed in two directions. The first looks at applying various methodologies to induce examination timetables. The second tak...
This paper introduces Pact, a new model for parallel heuristic programming on MIMD machines. Designed and implemented as an integrated tool environment, Pact allows the user to dev...
Abstract Nowadays many real problems can be modelled as Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSPs). A search algorithm for constraint programming requires an order in which variables ...
This paper describes a new hybrid method based on the application of the Population Training Algorithm (PTA) and linear programming (LP) for generation of schedules for drivers in...
