Decomposition is a powerful technique for reducing the size of a backtracking search tree. However, when solving constraint optimization problems (COP's) the standard techniqu...
This paper presents a new Genetic Algorithm for Protein Structure Prediction problem in both 2D and 3D hydrophobichydrophilic lattice models, introduced in [1]. Our algorithm evol...
We consider human performance on an optimal stopping problem where people are presented with a list of numbers independently chosen from a uniform distribution. People are told ho...
We propose a novel algorithmic framework to solve an integrated planning and scheduling problem in supply chain management. This problem involves the integration of an inventory m...
Because of the large number of possible combinations for the fuel assembly loading in the core, the design of the loading pattern (LP) is a complex optimization problem. It requir...
