Abstract. Problem parameters are ubiquitous. In every area of computer science, we find all kinds of “special aspects” to the problems encountered. Hence, the study of paramet...
Abduction is a fundamental form of nonmonotonic reasoning that aims at finding explanations for observed manifestations. This process underlies many applications, from car configu...
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...

The problem of sorting a signed permutation by reversals is inspired by genome rearrangements in computational molecular biology. Given two genomes represented as two signed permut...
Nowadays many customised embedded processors offer the possibility of speeding up an application by implementing it using Application-Specific Functional units (AFUs). However, th...
