A novel native stochastic local search algorithm for solving k-term DNF problems is presented. It is evaluated on hard k-term DNF problems that lie on the phase transition and com...
Abstract. VLSI chips design is becoming increasingly complex and calling for more and more automation. Many chip design problems can be formulated naturally as constraint problems ...

Sets of DNA strands that satisfy combinatorial constraints play an important role in various approaches to biomolecular computation, nanostructure design, and molecular tagging. Th...
The multi-processor total tardiness problem (MPTTP) is an ÆÈ-hard scheduling problem, in which the goal is to minimise the tardiness of a set of jobs that are processed on a numb...
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...
