This paper presents a constraint logic programming model for the traveling salesman problem with time windows which yields an exact branch-and-bound optimization algorithm without any restrictive ...

Mathematical programming with vanishing constraints (MPVC) represents a challenging class of optimisation problems where certain constraints become inactive—or “vanish”—depending on specific ...

Being able to develop software applications quickly and efficiently has become a key factor in an organization’s ability to maintain an edge over the competition. In a recent webinar, Kyle Hailey, ...

Cell suppression is a widely used technique for protecting sensitive information in statistical data presented in tabular form. Previous works on the subject mainly concentrate on 2- and 3-dimensional ...
