Abstract. The EENCL algorithm [1] automatically designs neural network ensembles for classification, combining global evolution with local search based on gradient descent. Two mec...
Abstract. We present a new hybrid constraint solving schema which retains some systematicity of constructive search while incorporating the heuristic guidance and lack of commitmen...
Over the last decade and a half, tabu search algorithms for machine scheduling have gained a near-mythical reputation by consistently equaling or establishing state-of-the-art per...

Abstract. In this survey we compare the similarities, differences and the complexities of two very different approaches to solve a general constraint satisfaction probblems (CSP). ...
Abstract. One of the most appealing features of constraint programming is its rich constraint language for expressing combinatorial optimization problems. This paper demonstrates t...
