Automated Configuration of Mixed Integer Programming Solvers
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 ...

The Timetable Constrained Distance Minimization Problem
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...

AND/OR Branch-and-Bound Search for Pure 0/1 Integer Linear Programming Problems
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...

Duality in Optimization and Constraint Satisfaction
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...

Open Constraints in a Closed World
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...

The Power of Semidefinite Programming Relaxations for MAX-SAT
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 ...

Event-Driven Probabilistic Constraint Programming
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 ...
