This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
This paper presents the scatter search particle filter (SSPF) algorithm and its application to real-time hands and face tracking. SSPF combines sequential Monte Carlo (particle fil...
We consider the problem of finding an optimal clock schedule, i.e. optimal arrival times for clock signals at latches of a VLSI chip. We describe a general model which includes al...
Recent statistical performance surveys of search algorithms in difficult combinatorial problems have demonstrated the benefits of randomising and restarting the search procedure. ...
