The paper describes a general glance to the use of element exchange techniques for optimization over permutations. A multi-level description of problems is proposed which is a fund...
The Steel Mill Slab Problem is an optimization benchmark that has been studied for a long time in the constraint-programming community but was only solved efficiently in the two l...

For every string inclusion relation there are two optimization problems: find a longest string included in every string of a given finite language, and find a shortest string in...
Scene understanding is an important problem in intelligent robotics. Since visual information is uncertain due to several reasons, we need a novel method that has robustness to the...
