Abstract. Software clustering techniques are useful for extracting architectural information about a system directly from its source code structure. This paper starts by examining ...
When a considerable number of mutations have no effects on fitness values, the fitness landscape is said neutral. In order to study the interplay between neutrality, which exists ...
Local genetic algorithms have been designed with the aim of providing effective intensiļ¬cation. One of their most outstanding features is that they may help classical local searc...
Software testing can be re-formulated as a search problem, hence search algorithms (e.g., Genetic Algorithms) can be used to tackle it. Most of the research so far has been of emp...
In this article we analyze the combination of ACOhg, a new metaheuristic algorithm, plus partial order reduction applied to the problem of finding safety property violations in co...
