The treatment of exogenous events in planning is practically important in many realworld domains where the preconditions of certain plan actions are affected by such events. In th...
We present an algorithm Pref-AC that limits arc consistency (AC) to the preferred choices of a tree search procedure and that makes constraint solving more efficient without chan...
-- The purpose of this paper is to describe the implementation and testing of the tabu cycle method and two variants of the conditional probability method. These methods were origi...
Over the past few years, several local search algorithms have been proposed for various problems related to multicast routing in the off-line mode. We describe a population-based ...
