Examination timetabling problems are often solved by a two-phase procedure combining a sequential construction heuristic with a metaheuristic improvement search. There can be many...
Abstract. Constraint Programming is a proven successful technique, but it requires skill in modeling problems, and knowledge on how algorithms interact with models. What can be a g...

The value for decision making of high-quality postsolution analysis of decision-supporting models can hardly be overestimated. Candle-lighting analysis (CLA) takes this notion ver...

We apply the dead-end elimination (DEE) strategy from protein design as a heuristic for the max-flow/min-cut formulation of the image segmentation problem. DEE combines aspects of...
Research in the field of examination timetabling has developed in two directions. The first looks at applying various methodologies to induce examination timetables. The second tak...
