We present three new complexity results for classes of planning problems with simple causal graphs. First, we describe a polynomial time algorithm that uses macros to generate pla...
Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP) constitute a convenient way to capture many combinatorial problems. The general CSP is known to be NP-complete, but its complexity depends on...
The maximum independent set problem is NP-complete for graphs in general, but becomes solvable in polynomial time when restricted to graphs in many special classes. The problem is ...
In this work we present the Partner Units Problem as a novel challenge for optimization methods. It captures a certain type of configuration problem that frequently occurs in indu...

A heuristic technique that combines a genetic algorithm with a Tabu Search algorithm is applied to the Quadratic Assignment Problem (QAP). The hybrid algorithm improves the result...
