: This paper presents a meta-heuristic optimization algorithm, Tabu Search (TS), and describes how it can be used to solve a wide variety of chemical engineering problems. Modifica...
Many important combinatorial optimization problems can be expressed as constraint satisfaction problems with soft constraints. When problems are too difficult to be solved exactly,...
Abstract. In recent years we have seen an increasing interest in combining constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) formulations and linear programming (LP) based techniques for solvi...
Abstract--Reconstruction algorithms for fluorescence tomography have to address two crucial issues : (i) the ill-posedness of the reconstruction problem, (ii) the large scale of nu...
Establishing the correct correspondence between features in an image set remains a challenging problem amongst computer vision researchers. In fact, the combinatorial nature of fe...
