This paper presents SearchSleuth, a program developed to experiment with a form of automatic local analysis that extends the standard Web search interface to include a conceptual n...
Abstract. We describe LOCALE, a system that allows cooperating information systems to share labels for photographs. Participating photographs are enhanced with a geographic locatio...
Memetic algorithms have become to gain increasingly important for solving large scale combinatorial optimization problems. Typically, the extent of the application of local search...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new algorithm, based on the concept of ejection chains, to effectively target vehicle routing problems with time window constraints (VRPTW). Ejec...
The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalization used to represent problems in distributed multi-agent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mu...
