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...
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...
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 ...

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...
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...
