Identification of Transcription Factor Binding Site (TFBS) motifs in multiple DNA upstream sequences is important in understanding the mechanism of gene regulation. This identific...
In this paper we introduce Ant-Q, a family of algorithms which present many similarities with Q-learning (Watkins, 1989), and which we apply to the solution of symmetric and asymm...
Loop nest optimization is a combinatorial problem. Due to the growing complexity of modern architectures, it involves two increasingly difficult tasks: (1) analyzing the profita...
We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
We propose a network characterization of combinatorial fitness landscapes by adapting the notion of inherent networks proposed for energy surfaces [5]. We use the well-known fami...
