Abstract. State-of-the-art solvers for mixed integer programming (MIP) problems are highly parameterized, and finding parameter settings that achieve high performance for specific ...
We define the timetable constrained distance minimization problem (TCDMP) which is a sports scheduling problem applicable for tournaments where the total travel distance must be mi...
Abstract. AND/OR search spaces have recently been introduced as a unifying paradigm for advanced algorithmic schemes for graphical models. The main virtue of this representation is...
We show that various duals that occur in optimization and constraint satisfaction can be classified as inference duals, relaxation duals, or both. We discuss linear programming, su...
We study domain filtering algorithms for open constraints, i.e., constraints that are not a priori defined on specific sets of variables. We present an efficient filtering algorith...
Abstract. This paper considers all the variants of the traveling tournament prob) proposed in [17, 7] to abstract the salient features of major league baseball (MLB) in the United ...
This paper considers online stochastic reservation problems, where requests come online and must be dynamically allocated to limited resources in order to maximize profit. Multi-k...

Recently, Linear Programming (LP)-based relaxations have been shown promising in boosting the performance of exact MAX-SAT solvers. We compare Semidefinite Programming (SDP) based ...

Tail Assignment is the problem of assigning flight legs to aircraft while satisfying all operational constraints, and optimizing some objective function. In this article, we presen...
Real-life management decisions are usually made in uncertain environments, and decision support systems that ignore this uncertainty are unlikely to provide realistic guidance. We ...
