We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
Efficient full-text searching is a big challenge in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) system. Recently, Distributed Hash Table (DHT) becomes one of the reliable communication schemes for P2P. Som...
Local search procedures for solving satisfiability problems have attracted considerable attention since the development of GSAT in 1992. However, recent work indicates that for m...
