Many real-world problems are over-constrained and require search techniques adapted to optimising cost functions rather than searching for consistency. This makes the MAX-SAT probl...
The variable branching heuristics used in the most recent and most effective SAT solvers, including zChaff and BerkMin, can be viewed as consisting of a simple mechanism for rewa...
In this paper, tabu search for SAT is investigated from an experimental point of view. To this end, TSAT, a basic tabu search algorithm for SAT, is introduced and compared with Se...
Search based optimization techniques have been applied to structural software test data generation since 1992, with a recent upsurge in interest and activity within this area. How...
Abstract. We present a systematic procedure for the synthesis and minimisation of digital circuits using propositional satisfiability. We encode the truth table into a canonical s...
