Identification of Transcription Factor Binding Site (TFBS) motifs in multiple DNA upstream sequences is important in understanding the mechanism of gene regulation. This identific...
A genetic local search (GLS) algorithm, which is a combination technique of genetic algorithm and local search, for the unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem (BQP) is...
We propose and study a technique to improve the performance of those local-search SAT solvers that proceed by executing a prespecified number of tries, each starting with an eleme...
A challenge in hybrid evolutionary algorithms is to define efficient strategies to cover all search space, applying local search only in actually promising search areas. This pape...
The multi-processor total tardiness problem (MPTTP) is an ÆÈ-hard scheduling problem, in which the goal is to minimise the tardiness of a set of jobs that are processed on a numb...
