Abstract. Since problem solving in group problem-based learning is a collaborative process, modeling individuals and the group is necessary if we wish to develop an intelligent tut...
ngly better objective function value until an optimal solution is reached. From an abstract point of view, an augmentation problem is solved in each iteration. That is, given a fea...
Databases have employed a schema-based approach to store and retrieve structured data for decades. For peer-to-peer (P2P) networks, similar approaches are just beginning to emerge,...
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

Abstract. Learning in the context of constraint solving is a technique by which previously unknown constraints are uncovered during search and used to speed up subsequent search. R...
