Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
The pilot method as a meta-heuristic is a tempered greedy method aimed at obtaining better solutions while avoiding the greedy trap by looking ahead for each possible choice. Repea...
We consider a server location problem with only one server to move. In this paper we assume that a request is given as a region and that the service can be done anywhere inside th...
Abstract— We propose a scalable and reliable point-topoint routing algorithm for ad hoc wireless networks and sensornets. Our algorithm assigns to each node of the network a virt...
Software developers use testing to gain and maintain confidence in the correctness of a software system. Automated reduction and prioritization techniques attempt to decrease the...
