Caching, symmetries, and search with decomposition are powerful techniques for pruning the search space of constraint problems. In this paper we present an innovative way of effi...
In this paper, we describe a new incomplete approach for solving constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) based on the ant colony optimization (ACO) metaheuristic. The idea is to us...

The identification of mechanisms by which constraints on phenotypic variability are tuned in nature, and the implementation of these mechanisms in Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) ca...
