Cone-based clustering heuristic for list-scheduling algorithms
List scheduling algorithms attempt to minimize latency under resource constraints using a priority list. We propose a new heuristic that can be used in conjunction with any priori...

A Stochastic Search Approach to Grammar Induction
This paper describes a new sampling-based heuristic for tree search named SAGE and presents an analysis of its performance on the problem of grammar induction. This last work has b...

Improving Backtrack Search for SAT by Means of Redundancy
In this paper, a new heuristic that can be grafted to many of the most e cient branching strategies for Davis and Putnam procedures for SAT is described. This heuristic gives a hig...

New Search Heuristics for Max-CSP
Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...

Max-Min D-Cluster Formation in Wireless Ad Hoc Networks
— An ad hoc network may be logically represented as a set of clusters. The clusterheads form a -hop dominating set. Each node is at most hops from a clusterhead. Clusterheads for...

Evaluating Heuristic Scheduling Algorithms for High Performance Parallel Processing
Most cluster systems used in high performance computing do not allow process relocation at run-time. Finding an allocation that results in minimal completion time is NP-hard and (n...

A Kernighan-Lin Local Improvement Heuristic That Solves Some Hard Problems in Genetic Algorithms
We present a Kernighan-Lin style local improvement heuristic for genetic algorithms. We analyze the run-time cost of the heuristic. We demonstrate through experiments that the heur...
