The effects of combining search and modelling techniques can be complex and unpredictable, so guidelines are very important for the design and development of effective and robust s...
In the ECAD area, the Test Generation (TG) problem consists in finding an input vector test for some possible diagnosis (a set of faults) of a digital circuit. Such tests may have ...
Portfolio selection is a relevant problem arising in finance and economics. While its basic formulations can be efficiently solved through linear or quadratic programming, its mor...

Algorithms based on following local gradient information are surprisingly effective for certain classes of constraint satisfaction problems. Unfortunately, previous local search a...
Abstract. In this paper we develop a localized value-ordering heuristic for distributed resource allocation problems. We show how this value ordering heuristics can be used to achi...
