The structured programming literature provides methods and a wealth of heuristic knowledge for guiding the construction of provably correct imperative programs. We investigate the...
We introduce the Spacing Memetic Algorithm (SMA), a formal evolutionary model devoted to a systematic control of spacing (distances) among individuals. SMA uses search space dista...

We propose a load balancing heuristic for parallel adaptive finite element method (FEM) simulations. In contrast to most existing approaches, the heuristic focuses on good partit...

Abstract. Heuristic programming was the first area in which AI methods were tested. The favourite case-studies were fairly simple toyproblems, such as cryptarithmetic, games, such ...
In case a CSP is over-constrained, it is natural to allow some constraints, called soft constraints, to be violated. We propose a generic method to soften global constraints that c...
