This paper addresses constraint solving over continuous domains in the context of decision making, and discusses the trade-off between precision in the definition of the solution s...
Background: The protein structure prediction problem is one of the most challenging problems in biological sciences. Many approaches have been proposed using database information ...
Abstract. We present an algorithmic framework for integrating solution methods that is based on search, inference, and relaxation and their interactions. We show that the following...
Abstract. In this paper, we present a major improvement in the search procedures in constraint programming. First, we integrate various search procedures from AI and OR. Second, we...
This paper describes a form of dynamical computational system--4he ant colony---and presents an ant colony model for continuous space optimisation problems. The ant colony metapho...
