New lower bounds for 15 classical Ramsey numbers are established. Several of the colorings are found using a new variation of local search heuristics. Several others are found usi...
— We proposed a new search heuristic using the scuba diving metaphor. This approach is based on the concept of evolvability and tends to exploit neutrality in fitness landscape....
This paper investigates an adaptive constructive method for solving nurse rostering problems. The constraints considered in the problems are categorised into three classes: those t...

The development of successful metaheuristic algorithms such as local search for a difficult problems such as satisfiability testing (SAT) is a challenging task. We investigate an ...
Conformant planning can be formulated as a path-finding problem in belief space where the two main challenges are the heuristics to guide the search, and the representation and u...
