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...
We consider in this paper a new lagrangean relaxation with clusters for the Manufacturer’s Pallet Loading Problem (MPLP). The relaxation is based on the MPLP formulated as a Max...

This paper addresses the application of distributed constraint optimization problems (DCOPs) to large-scale dynamic environments. We introduce a decomposition of DCOP into a graph...

The paper brings a discussion about the source of the inaccuracy in observations of objects and demonstrates that the essential reason of the lack of precision is changeability, a...
—Proteins are the main players in the game of life. Good understanding of their structures, functions, and behaviors leads to good understanding of drugs, diseases, and thus our ...
