Abstract Search engines, with Google at the top, have many remarkable capabilities. But what is not among them is the deduction capability—the capability to synthesize an answer ...
In this talk we present a unified Variable Neighborhood Search (VNS) algorithm for the Capacitated Arc Routing Problem (CARP) and some of its variants - the Capacitated Arc Routin...

A conflict clause represents a backtracking solver’s analysis of why a conflict occurred. This analysis can be used to further prune the search space and to direct the search h...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has become quite popular in recent years. In contrast to many successful applications, the theoretical foundation of this randomized search heuristic...
We consideralgorithms for a simple one-dimensionalpoint placement problem: given N points on a line, and noisy measurements of the distances between many pairs of them, estimate th...
