We review recent work on the Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If problem and present a new hierarchical problem, HIFF-M that does not fit with previous explanations for evolutionary diffi...
We present a new probabilistic framework for finding likely variable assignments in difficult constraint satisfaction problems. Finding such assignments is key to efficient sea...

Because of privacy concerns, agents may not want to reveal information that could be of use in problem solving. As a result, there are potentially important tradeoffs between main...
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...
In the development of algorithms for finding the minimal solutions of systems of linear Diophantine equations, little use has been made (to our knowledge) of the results by Stanle...
