The global search properties of heuristic search algorithms are not well understood. In this paper, we introduce a new metric, mobility, that quantifies the dispersion of local o...

A genetic local search (GLS) algorithm, which is a combination technique of genetic algorithm and local search, for the unconstrained binary quadratic programming problem (BQP) is...
Micro-data protection is a hot topic in the field of Statistical Disclosure Control (SDC), that has gained special interest after the disclosure of 658000 queries by the AOL searc...
Abstract. Computational resources are increasing rapidly with the explosion of multi-core processors readily available from major vendors. Model checking needs to harness these res...
A GRASP (greedy randomized adaptive search procedure) is a multi-start metaheuristic for combinatorial optimization. We study the probability distributions of solution time to a su...
