A serious problem of most transformation-based generators is that they are trying to achieve three mutually antagonistic goals simultaneously: 1) deeply factored operators and oper...
The distribution of fitness values across a set of states sharply influences the dynamics of evolutionary processes and heuristic search in combinatorial optimization. In this p...
This paper investigates an adaptive constructive method for solving nurse rostering problems. The constraints considered in the problems are categorised into three classes: those t...

The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalisation used to represent problems in distributed multiagent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mult...
A new incremental knowledge acquisition approach for the effective development of efficient problem solvers for combinatorial problems based on probabilistic search algorithms is ...
