— We consider perfect secret key generation for a “pairwise independent network” model in which every pair of terminals share a random binary string, with the strings shared ...
In this paper, we describe a new incomplete approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The idea is to us...
In this paper, we present a Dynamic Load Balancing (DLB) policy for problems characterized by a highly irregular search tree, whereby no reliable workload prediction is available....
Abstract. In constraint programming there are often many choices regarding the propagation method to be used on the constraints of a problem. However, simple constraint solvers usu...
Abstract. Multi-Point Constructive Search maintains a small set of “elite solutions” that are used to heuristically guide constructive search through periodically restarting se...
