The key question addressed by the resource-constrained project scheduling problem (RCPSP) is to determine the start times for each activity such that precedence and resource const...

Relaxed plans are used in the heuristic search planner FF for computing a numerical heuristic and extracting helpful actions. We present a novel way for extracting information fro...
We present a decomposition strategy to speed up constraint optimization for a representative multiprocessor scheduling problem. In the manner of Benders decomposition, our techniq...
Optimization in sports is a field of increasing interest. A novel problem in sports management is the Referee Assignment Problem, in which a limited number of referees with differe...

A hyper-heuristic performs search over a set of other search mechanisms. During the search, it does not require any problem-dependent data. This structure makes hyperheuristics pro...
