Constraint programming provides a declarative approach to solving combinatorial (optimization) problems. The user just states the problem as a constraint satisfaction problem (CSP)...
In this paper, the problem of finding the optimal collision free path for a mobile robot, the path planning problem, is solved using an advanced evolutionary algorithm called memet...

The competitive layer model (CLM) can be described by an optimization problem. The problem can be further formulated by an energy function, called the CLM energy function, in the s...
Abstract. Many problems are naturally expressed using CNF clauses and boolean cardinality constraints. It is generally believed that solving such problems through pure CNF encoding...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
