This paper proposes a new solution to the vehicle routing problem with time windows using an evolution strategy adopting viral infection. The problem belongs to the NP-hard class a...
Nurse rostering is a difficult search problem with many constraints. In the literature, a number of approaches have been investigated including penalty function methods to tackle t...

Scheduling problems can be seen as a set of temporal metric and disjunctive constraints. So, they can be formulated in terms of CSPs techniques. In the literature, there are CSP-b...
Traditional approaches to distributed problem solving have treated the problem as one of distributed search. In this paper, we propose an alternative, logic-based view of distribut...
