Reformulation based MaxSAT robustness (Extended abstract)
... Abstract. The presence of uncertainty in the real world makes robustness a desirable property of solutions to Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). A solution is said to be robust if it can be easily repaired when unexpected events happen. This has already been addressed in the frameworks of Boole ...

Genetic algorithm

In the field of artificial intelligence, a genetic algorithm (GA) is a search heuristic that mimics the process of natural selection. This heuristic (also sometimes called a metaheuristic) is routinely used to generate useful solutions to optimization and search problems. Genetic algorithms belong to the larger class of evolutionary algorithms (EA), which generate solutions to optimization problems using techniques inspired by natural evolution, such as inheritance, mutation, selection, and crossover.
