This paper presents a set of techniques that makes constraint programming a technique of choice for solving small (up to 30 nodes) traveling salesman problems. These techniques in...
In our recent work, a general method called the stable state analysis technique was developed to determine constraints that the weights in the Hopfield energy function must satisf...
This paper presents a particle swarm optimizer for solving constrained optimization problems which adopts a very small population size (five particles). The proposed approach uses...

Distributed Constraint Satisfaction (DCSP) has long been considered an important problem in multi-agent systems research. This is because many real-world problems can be represent...
We discuss how to solve variational constraint problems involving points, lines and planes. We concentrate on small problems that must be solved simultaneously.
