Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

—Model-based test derivation for real-time system has been proven to be a hard problem for exhaustive test suites. Therefore, techniques for real-time testing do not aim to exhau...
We introduce a novel case study in which a group of miniaturized robots screen an environment for undesirable agents, and destroy them. Because miniaturized robots are usually end...
