From the first edition, which was held in Toulouse in 1996, to ADG 2010, a slow mutation has taken place. The workshop that was formerly...

Although they are believed to be unsolvable in general, tractability results suggest that some practical NP-hard problems can be efficiently solved. Combinatorial search algorithms are designed to efficiently explore the usually large solution space of these instances by reducing the search space to feasible regions and using heuristics to...
