This paper presents and evaluates a number of techniques to improve the execution time of interprocedural pointer analysis in the context of large C programs. The analysis is form...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) that use marginal product model factorizations have been widely applied to a broad range of, mainly binary, optimization problems. In ...
We show that an important and computationally challenging solution space feature of the graph coloring problem (COL), namely the number of clusters of solutions, can be accurately...
When solving systems of nonlinear equations with interval constraint methods, it has often been observed that many calls to contracting operators do not participate actively to th...
Soft constraints are a generalization of classical constraints, which allow for the description of preferences rather than strict requirements. In soft constraints, constraints and...
