The quality of database distribution design, which involves fragmentation and allocation, should be assessed by the performance of a system. In particular, this applies to non-rel...
: Given a multiple power sum (extending polynomial’s exponents to real numbers), the positive root isolation problem is to find a list of disjoint intervals, satisfying that the...
The contribution presents a heuristic for the three-dimensional strip packing problem (3D-SPP) with rectangular pieces (boxes). The considered 3D-SPP can be formulated as follows:...
Standard tabu search methods are based on the complete exploration of current solution neighborhood. However, for some problems with very large neighborhood or time-consuming eval...

This paper deals with methods exploiting tree-decomposition approaches for solving constraint networks. We consider here the practical efficiency of these approaches by defining fi...
