Recently there has been significant progress in our understanding of the computational nature of combinatorial problems. Randomized search methods, both complete and incomplete, o...
The Shortest Common Supersequence Problem (SCSP) is a well-known hard combinatorial optimization problem that formalizes many real world problems. This paper presents a novel rando...
