In this work we provide empirical evidence that shows how a variable-length genetic algorithm (GA) can naturally evolve shorter average size populations. This reduction in chromos...
The efficient and effective generation of test-data from high-level models is of crucial importance in advanced modern software engineering. Empirical studies have shown that muta...
Based on former work on automatic transcription of musical time series into sheet music (Ligges et al. (2002), Weihs and Ligges (2003, 2005)) in this paper parameters of the transc...
In this paper we propose a new parallelization scheme for Simulated Annealing — Hierarchical Parallel SA (HPSA). This new scheme features coarse-granularity in parallelization, d...
