: Nowadays, solving nonsmooth (not necessarily differentiable) optimization problems plays a very important role in many areas of industrial applications. Most of the algorithms d...
Previous research has revealed gender differences that impact females’ willingness to adopt software features in end users’ programming environments. Since these features have...

We introduce a new approach to GA (Genetic Algorithms) based problem solving. Earlier GAs did not contain local search (i.e. hill climbing) mechanisms, which led to optimization d...

Given an unweighted planar graph G together with nets of terminals, our problem is to find a Steiner forest, i.e., vertex-disjoint trees, each of which interconnects all the termin...
Many problems require minimally perturbing an initial state in order to repair some violated constraints. We consider two search spaces for exactly solving this minimal perturbatio...
