-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi,
the abstract sounds interesting. I think I will read it this evening. But do you know the publications about parameter tuning for boolean constraint solver (e.g. SAT Solver) from Holger Hoos et al? e.g. the phd thesis of Frank Hutter http://www.cs.ubc.ca/~hutter/papers/Hutter09PhD.pdf I think the problems of player tuning and solver tuning are quite similar, or?
