Abstract. The problem of curriculum-based course timetabling is studied in this work. In addition to formally defining the problem, we present a hybrid solution algorithm (Adaptiv...
—Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) has shown its fast search speed in many complicated optimization and search problems. However, PSO could often easily fall into local optima. T...
We present an algorithm to find fragments in a set of molecules that help to discriminate between different classes of, for instance, activity in a drug discovery context. Instea...
This paper deals with the generation of balanced incomplete block designs (BIBD), a hard constrained combinatorial problem with multiple applications. This problem is here formulat...
Many real-world problems are over-constrained and require search techniques adapted to optimising cost functions rather than searching for consistency. This makes the MAX-SAT probl...
