Biography
Dr. Tam received his Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science and Software
Engineering in the University of
Melbourne in 1998 for his unprecedented work on integrating local search
based constraint solvers into constraint logic programming, aiming to tackle
very challenging constrained optimization problems with logic based
specifications in industrial applications. During his Ph.D. candidature,
Vincent was awarded with 3 scholarships and also a fellowship for attending the
Logic Summer School in the
Dr. Tam has over 70 internationally refereed publications,
including 5 book chapters and 10+ journal papers. His main research
