A Theory of Mutations with Applications to Vacuity, Coverage, and Fault Tolerance
The quality of formal specifications and the circuits they are written for can be evaluated through checks such as vacuity and coverage. Both checks involve mutations to the specif...

Contract-based mutation testing in the refinement calculus
This article discusses mutation testing strategies in the context of refinement. Here, a novel generalization of mutation testing techniques is presented to be applied to contract...

A Genetic Algorithm for Channel Routing using Inter-Cluster Mutation
In this paper, we propose an algorithm for the channel routing problem based on genetic approach that uses a new type of mutation, called inter-cluster mutation . The performance ...

Dining with GAs: Operator Lunch Theorems
There has been considerable discussion of the pros/cons of recombination and mutation operators in the context of Holland's schema theory. In this paper we de ne a common fra...

Using Dynastic Exploring Recombination to Promote Diversity in Genetic Search
A family of recombination operators is studied in this work. These operators are based on keeping and using certain information about the past evolution of the algorithm to guide t...
