Abstract. We describe in this paper Ant-P-solver, a generic constraint solver based on the Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The ACO metaheuristic takes inspiration on t...
This article describes computational modeling and two corresponding experimental investigations of the effects of symmetry, balance and quantity of construction elements on interf...
This paper presents an evaluation of the design decisions made in four state-of-the-art constraint solvers; Choco, ECLiPSe, Gecode, and Minion. To assess the impact of design deci...
We observe that an effect of "disk resource sharing" of multi-copy movie traffic has great impact on the blocking performance of a video-on-demand system. This observatio...
