Background: The protein folding problem remains one of the most challenging open problems in computational biology. Simplified models in terms of lattice structure and energy func...
We consider the following network design problem. We are given an undirected network with costs on the edges, a set of terminals, and an upper bound for each terminal limiting the ...

Abstract. We propose generalizations of the Global Cardinality Constraint (gcc) in which a partition of the variables is given. In the context of resource allocation problems, such...
We consider soft constraint problems where some of the preferences may be unspecified. This models, for example, settings where agents are distributed and have privacy issues, or ...

A Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm with feasibility-based rules (FRPSO) is proposed in this paper to solve mixed-variable optimization problems. An approach to handle various ...
