We describe a new exact solver for the minimization of open stacks problem (MOSP). By combining nogood recording with a branch and bound strategy based on choosing which customer s...
This paper studies the difference between Persistent Random Constants (PRC) and Digit Concatenation as methods for generating constants. It has been shown that certain problems hav...

-- Most optimization algorithms that use probabilistic models focus on extracting the information from good solutions found in the population. A selection method discards the below...
This paper examines a simulation of the Beer Distribution Game and a number of optimisation approaches to this game. This well known game was developed at MIT in the 1960s and has ...
Although low-thrust propulsion is an interesting option for scientific and reconnaissance missions to targets in planetary space, like the Moon, associated transfer strategies pose...
This work proposes a biologically inspired system for the coordination of multiple and possible conflicting behaviours in an autonomous mobile robot, devoted to explore novel scena...
The SYMBRION project stands at the crossroads of Artificial Life and Evolutionary Robotics: a swarm of real robots undergoes online evolution by exchanging information in a decentr...
