Automated cell placement is a critical problem in VLSI physical design. New analytical placement methods that simultaneously spread cells and optimize wirelength have recently rec...
We discuss the computational complexity of random 2D Ising spin glasses, which represent an interesting class of constraint satisfaction problems for black box optimization. Two ex...

We compare the performance of five well-known truncation heuristics for mitigating the effects of initialization bias in the output analysis of steady-state simulations. Two of th...

Background: Structural similarities among proteins can provide valuable insight into their functional mechanisms and relationships. As the number of available three-dimensional (3...
Abstract. Artificial immune systems (AISs) are problem-solving systems inspired by the biological immune system. They have been successfully applied to a number of problem domains ...
