Maintenance scheduling problems as benchmarks for constraint algorithms
The paper focuses on evaluating constraint satisfaction search algorithms on application based random problem instances. The application we use is a well-studied problem in the el...

Descending Deviation Optimization techniques for scheduling problems
In factory automation, production line scheduling entails a number of competing issues. Finding optimal configurations often requires use of local search techniques. Local search l...

Random Subset Optimization
Some of the most successful algorithms for satisfiability, such as Walksat, are based on random walks. Similarly, local search algorithms for solving constraint optimization proble...

Revisiting the TTL-based controlled flooding search: optimality and randomization
In this paper we consider the problem of searching for a node or an object (i.e., piece of data, file, etc.) in a large network. Applications of this problem include searching fo...

Quantum and Randomized Lower Bounds for Local Search on Vertex-Transitive Graphs
We study the problem of local search on a graph. Given a real-valued black-box function f on the graph's vertices, this is the problem of determining a local minimum of f--a v...
