A well-studied problem in the electric power industry is that of optimally scheduling preventative maintenance of power generating units within a power plant. We show how these pr...
— Hyper-heuristics or “heuristics to chose heuristics” are an emergent search methodology that seeks to automate the process of selecting or combining simpler heuristics in o...
In this paper we study a complex real-world workforce scheduling problem. We propose a method of splitting the problem into smaller parts and solving each part using exhaustive sea...

The Manpower Allocation Problem with Time Windows, Job-Teaming Constraints and a limited number of teams (mMAPTWTC) is a crew scheduling problem faced in several different context...
Distributed Constraint Optimization (DCOP) is useful for solving agent-coordination problems. Any-space DCOP search algorithms require only a small amount of memory but can be spe...
