It has recently been shown, for the Constraint Satisfaction Problem (CSP), that the state associated with a node of the search tree built by a backtracking algorithm can be exploit...
Abstract. Creating a coherent set of ontologies to support a collaborative design process amongst different firms which develop mechatronic products is a challenge due to the seman...
Adaptive representations allow evolution to explore the space of phenotypes by choosing the most suitable set of genotypic parameters. Although such an approach is believed to be ...
Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
Abstract. Despite the considerable success of Inductive Logic Programming, deployed ILP systems still have efficiency problems when applied to complex problems. Several techniques ...
