Combination of AI/OR methods is gaining a great deal of attention because many combinatorial problems especially in planning and scheduling areas can be solved by means of combined...
ESSENCE is a new formal language for specifying combinatorial problems in a manner similar to natural rigorous specifications that use a mixture of natural language and discrete ...

Recently there has been significant progress in our understanding of the computational nature of combinatorial problems. Randomized search methods, both complete and incomplete, o...
We introduce a metaheuristic framework for combinatorial optimization. Our framework is similar to others (e.g. [1]) in that it is modular enough that important components can be i...
Several general purpose benchmark generators are now available in the literature. They are convenient tools in dynamic continuous optimization as they can produce test instances w...

We show that every NP problem is polynomially equivalent to a simple combinatorial problem: the membership problem for a special class of digraphs. These classes are defined by me...
We study novel approaches for solving of hard combinatorial problems by translation to Boolean Satisfiability (SAT). Our focus is on combinatorial problems that can be represented...
Single 2D line drawing is a straightforward method to illustrate 3D objects. The faces of an object depicted by a line drawing give very useful information for the reconstruction ...
