Abstract. Many real world problems, e.g. personnel scheduling and transportation planning, can be modeled naturally as Constrained Shortest Path Problems (CSPPs), i.e., as Shortest...
We apply a Reactive Tabu Search (RTS) heuristic within a discrete-event simulation to solve routing problems for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our formulation represents this p...

The challenge in shift scheduling lies in the construction of a set of work shifts, which are subject to specific regulations, in order to cover fluctuating staff demands. This pro...
In this paper we present a new method for quasiexact optimization of BDDs using relaxed ordered best-first search. This general method is applied to BDD minimization. In contrast...
We describe an algorithm for finding approximate seeds for DNA homology searches. In contrast to previous algorithms that use exact or spaced seeds, our approximate seeds may conta...
