Operations research and management science are often confronted with sequential decision making problems with large state spaces. Standard methods that are used for solving such c...
Distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) are a popular way of formulating and solving agent-coordination problems. It is often desirable to solve DCOPs optimally with m...
In few years, graph cuts have become a leading method for solving a wide range of problems in computer vision. However, graph cuts involve the construction of huge graphs which so...
XML is an emerging standard for data representation and exchange on the World-Wide Web. Due to the nature of information on the Web and the inherent flexibility of XML, we expect...
constraint abstractions into integer programming, and to discuss possible combinations of the two approaches. Combinatorial problems are ubiquitous in many real world applications ...
