Constrained Optimization Problems (COP) often take place in many practical applications such as kinematics, chemical process optimization, power systems and so on. These problems ...
It has recently been shown that local search is surprisingly good at nding satisfying assignments for certain computationally hard classes of CNF formulas. The performance of basi...
This paper reports work investigating various evolutionary approaches to vertex cover (VC), a well-known NP-Hard optimization problem. Central to each of the algorithms is a novel ...
Abstract. We deal with two important problems in pattern recognition that arise in the analysis of large datasets. While most feature subset selection methods use statistical techn...
Search based optimization techniques have been applied to structural software test data generation since 1992, with a recent upsurge in interest and activity within this area. How...
