Abstract. In this paper we propose an optimal anytime version of constrained simulated annealing (CSA) for solving constrained nonlinear programming problems (NLPs). One of the goa...
As part of the Illinois Digital Library Initiative (DLI) project we developed “scalable semantics” technologies. These statistical techniques enabled us to index large collect...

Theoretical models for the evaluation of quickly improving search strategies, like limited discrepancy search, are based on specific assumptions regarding the probability that a va...
In many situations, a set of hard constraints encodes the feasible configurations of some system or product over which multiple users have distinct preferences. However, making su...
Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) has been advocated as an effective way to deal with today's software complexity. MDE can be seen as an integrative approach combining existing ...
