Problem solvers, both human and machine, have at their disposal many heuristics that may support effective search. The efficacy of these heuristics, however, varies with the probl...
In this paper, we review parallel search techniques for approximating the global optimal solution of combinatorial optimization problems. Recent developments on parallel implementa...

The bin packing problem (BPP) is a real-world problem that arises in different industrial applications related to minimization of space or time. The aim of this research is to au...
Discovery of graphical models is NP-hard in general, which justifies using heuristics. We consider four commonly used heuristics. We summarize the underlying assumptions and anal...
In this paper, we present a heuristic approach for finding errors and possible improvements in business process models. First, we translate the information that is included in a m...
