It is often believed that the performance of ant system, and in general of ant colony optimization algorithms, depends somehow on the scale of the problem instance at hand. The iss...
Instances of constraint satisfaction problems can be solved efficiently if they are representable as a tree decomposition of small width. Unfortunately, the task of finding a deco...
This paper addresses the question of selecting an algorithm from a predefined set that will have the best performance on a scheduling problem instance. Our goal is to reduce the e...
