In this abstract, we present a rule-based modelling language for constraint programming, called Rules2CP [1], and a library PKML for modelling packing problems. Unlike other modell...
Attempts to use finite models to guide the search for proofs by resolution and the like in first order logic all suffer from the need to trade off the expense of generating and m...
Binary Decision Diagram (BDD) based set bounds propagation is a powerful approach to solving set-constraint satisfaction problems. However, prior BDD based techniques incur the si...
This paper presents a framework for software architecture recovery and restructuring. The user specifies a high level abstraction view of the system using a structured pattern la...
Abstract. This paper introduces a new tabu search algorithm for a twodimensional (2D) Strip Packing Problem (2D-SPP). It integrates several key features: A direct representation of...
