Search-based software engineering is an emerging paradigm that uses automated search algorithms to help designers iteratively find solutions to complicated design problems. For exa...
Abstract. Solution techniques for Constraint Satisfaction and Optimisation Problems often make use of backtrack search methods, exploiting variable and value ordering heuristics. I...
In recent decades, many meta-heuristics, including genetic algorithm (GA), ant colony optimization (ACO) and various local search (LS) procedures have been developed for solving a...
Graphplan and heuristic state space planners such as HSP-R and UNPOP are currently two of the most effective approaches for solving classical planning problems. These approaches h...
An important challenge within hyper-heuristic research is to design search methodologies that work well, not only across different instances of the same problem, but also across di...
