We use a local search method we term Large Neighbourhood Search (LNS) for solving vehicle routing problems. LNS meshes well with constraint programming technology and is analogous...
A physically based system of interacting polyhedral objects is used to model self-assembly and spontaneous organization of complex structures. The surfaces of the polyhedra in the ...
Abstract. In Distributed Problem-solving (DPS) systems a group of purposefully designed computational agents interact and co-ordinate their activities so as to jointly achieve a gl...
