Given a pair of nonidentical complex objects, de ning and determining how similar they are to each other is a nontrivial problem. In data mining applications, one frequently nee...
There are two reasons for parallelizing a metaheuristic if one is interested in performance: (i) given a fixed time to search, the aim is to increase the quality of the solutions f...
We consider the problem of placing a set of disks in a region containing obstacles such that no two disks intersect. We are given a bounding polygon P and a set R of possibly inte...

In previous work [10], we considered algorithms related to the statistics of matches with words and regular expressions in texts generated by Bernoulli or Markov sources. In this w...
In the last decades, there has been an increasing interest in the connection between planning and constraint programming. Several approaches were used, leading to different forms ...
