Compiling all possible conflicts of a CSP
TL;DR: A new representation is proposed, which implicitly encompasses all conflicts possibly introduced by a user's choices and can help in situations where extra information about conflicts is needed, such as when explanations of inconsistency are required.
Supporting the design of product families through constraint-based reasoning
TL;DR: In this article, a constraint-based model of a product family is proposed to handle the complexity of product family design and is readily extensible and facilitates the specification of new product families.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
An adaptive large neighbourhood search for designing transparent optical core network
TL;DR: This paper presents an adaptive large neighbourhood search (LNS) algorithm where the idea is to find an initial solution and repeatedly improve it by solving relatively small subproblems.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Energy cost minimisation of geographically distributed data centres
TL;DR: The overall electricity cost for running a DC set over an operating horizon is reduced by finding a good compromise between: the number of migrations subject to the sovereignty of data, the loads of the servers in DCs and the energy cost reduction possible by following the DCs with best performance and energy efficiencies over time.
Book ChapterDOI
An analysis of Lamarckian learning in changing environments
Dara Curran,Barry O'Sullivan +1 more
TL;DR: This paper presents the first formal proof that Lamarckian inheritance can dominate more traditional individual (non-inheritable) learning and presents a parameterised model that can demonstrate conditions in which different inheritance types perform best, which is empirically validate.
