Locating dependence structures using search-based slicing
This paper introduces an approach to locating dependence structures in a program by searching the space of the powerset of the set of all possible program slices. The paper formul...

NP-completeness and FPT Results for Rectilinear Covering Problems
Abstract: This paper discusses three rectilinear (that is, axis-parallel) covering problems in d dimensions and their variants. The first problem is the Rectilinear Line Cover whe...

Negative thinking by incremental problem solving: application to unate covering
We introduce a new technique to solve exactly a discrete optimization problem, based on the paradigm of “negative” thinking. The motivation is that when searching the space of...

A Comparative Study of Five Parallel Genetic Algorithms Using the Traveling Salesman Problem
Parallel genetic algorithms (PGAs) have been developed to reduce the large execution times that are associated with serial genetic algorithms (SGAs). They have also been used to s...
