Grid computing offers a promising approach to solving challenging computational problems in an environment consisting of a large number of easily accessible resources. In this pape...
We propose and study a technique to improve the performance of those local-search SAT solvers that proceed by executing a prespecified number of tries, each starting with an eleme...
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...
The challenge of maximizing the diversity of a collection of points arises in a variety of settings, including the setting of search methods for hard optimization problems. One ver...
While stochastic local search (SLS) techniques are very efficient in solving hard randomly generated propositional satisfiability (SAT) problem instances, a major challenge is to i...
