Research Abstract

Recently, problems encountered in real applications become more complicated and large-scaled. Among a wide variety of problem types, we focus on those problems whose core parts can be formulated as an optimization problem ; especially as a combinatorial (or discrete) optimization problem. Our goal is to develop a general-purpose problem solving system that can deal with combinatorial optimization problems. To achieve this, we have prepared a number of standard problems so that as many problems as possible can be written in one of their forms, and developed efficient, robust and flexible approximation algorithms, all of which are based on metaheuristics. Some of them are being used in practice, incorporated into production systems of companies. Our standard problems are listed below.
・CSP (Constraint Satisfaction Problem)
・MAXSAT (MAXimum SATisfiability problem)
・RCPSP (Resource Constrained Project Scheduling Problem)
・GAP (Generalized Assignment Problem), MRGAP (Multi-Resource GAP)
・SCP (Set Covering Problem)
・VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem)
・2PP (2-dimensional Packing Problem)
・1CSTP (1-dimensional Cutting STock Problem)
・2CSTP (2-dimensional Cutting STock Problem)
・FED (Feature Extraction from Data)
