With increasing process variation, binning has become an important technique to improve the values of fabricated chips, especially in high performance microprocessors where transpa...
Cooperative co-evolution is often used to solve difficult optimization problems by means of problem decomposition. Its performance for such tasks can vary widely from good to disa...
The paper describes a constraint-based solution to the protein folding problem on face-centered cubic lattices—a biologically meaningful approximation of the general protein fol...
We propose a generic, domain-independent local search method called adaptive search for solving Constraint Satisfaction Problems (CSP). We design a new heuristics that takes advan...
In the rank join problem, we are given a set of relations and a scoring function, and the goal is to return the join results with the top K scores. It is often the case in practic...
