In recent years there has been considerable research on automated selection of physical design in database systems. In current solutions, candidate access paths are heuristically ...
Enforced hill-climbing is an effective deterministic hillclimbing technique that deals with local optima using breadth-first search (a process called "basin flooding"). ...
The distributed constraint satisfaction problem (CSP) is a general formalization used to represent problems in distributed multi-agent systems. To deal with realistic problems, mu...
Dynamic symbolic execution is a structural testing technique that systematically explores feasible paths of the program under test by running the program with different test input...

Background: Inference of evolutionary trees using the maximum likelihood principle is NP-hard. Therefore, all practical methods rely on heuristics. The topological transformations...
