Memetic algorithms are evolutionary algorithms incorporating local search to increase exploitation. This hybridization has been fruitful in countless applications. However, theory...
Abstract. The paper presents a deductive framework for proving program equivalence and its application to automatic verification of transformations performed by optimizing compiler...
We present an algorithm to solve XPath decision problems under regular tree type constraints and show its use to statically typecheck XPath queries. To this end, we prove the deci...
In multimodal function optimization, niching techniques create diversification within the population, thus encouraging heterogeneous convergence. The key to the effective diversif...
An identity (ID)-based signature scheme allows any pair of users to verify each other's signatures without exchanging public key certificates. With the advent of Bilinear maps...
