Abstract. The genomic median problem is an optimization problem inspired by a biological issue: it aims at finding the chromosome organization of the common ancestor to multiple li...
Abduction is a fundamental form of nonmonotonic reasoning that aims at finding explanations for observed manifestations. This process underlies many applications, from car configu...
We propose and study a technique to improve the performance of those local-search SAT solvers that proceed by executing a prespecified number of tries, each starting with an eleme...
Stochastic local search (SLS) algorithms have been successfully applied to hard combinatorial problems from different domains. Due to their inherent randomness, the run-time behav...
In the ECAD area, the Test Generation (TG) problem consists in finding an input vector test for some possible diagnosis (a set of faults) of a digital circuit. Such tests may have ...
