In this paper we formulate a combinatorial auction brokering problem as a set packing problem and apply a simulated annealing heuristic with hybrid local moves to solve the proble...
An automated design procedure is described for synthesizing circuits with low power concurrent error detection. It is based on pre-synthesis selection of a parity-check code follo...
We present a novel method for rendering shadow volumes. The core idea of the method is to locally choose between Z-pass and Z-fail algorithms on a per-tile basis. The choice is ma...
Self-adaptation of the mutation strengths is a powerful mechanism in evolution strategies (ES), but it can fail. As a consequence premature convergence or ending up in a local opt...
Low diversity in a genetic algorithm (GA) can cause the search to become stagnant upon reaching a local optimum. To some extent, non-stationary tasks avoid this problem, which woul...
