The No-Free-Lunch theorems (NFLTs) are criticized for being too general to be of any relevance to the real world scenario. This paper investigates, both formally and empirically, ...
Wire routing in a VLSI chip often requires minimization of wire-length as well as the number of intersections among multiple nets. Such an optimization problem is computationally ...

Abstract. The basic decision-theoretic troubleshooting task is described in this paper. Dependency sets are defined for a better understanding of dependent actions. It is shown th...
We analyze the performance of evolutionary algorithms on various matroid optimization problems that encompass a vast number of efficiently solvable as well as NP-hard combinatoria...
A number of pitfalls of empirical scheduling research are illustrated using real experimental data. These pitfalls, in general, serve to slow the progress of scheduling research b...
