The hybridization of heuristics methods aims at exploring the synergies among stand alone heuristics in order to achieve better results for the optimization problem under study. In...

The growing use of digital signal processors (DSPs) in embedded systems necessitates the use of optimizing compilers supporting special hardware features. Due to the irregular arc...
Many black box optimization algorithms have sufcient exibility to allow them to adapt to the varying circumstances they encounter. These capabilities are of two primary sorts: 1) ...
The Negative Slope Coefficient (nsc) is an empirical measure of problem hardness based on the analysis of offspring-fitness vs. parent-fitness scatterplots. The nsc has been teste...
We address the problem of finding parallel plans for SQL queries using the two-phase approach of join ordering followed by parallelization. We focus on the parallelization phase a...
