(In Press) Heuristic evolution with genetic programming for traveling thief...
In many real-world applications, one needs to deal with a large multi-silo problem with interdependent silos. In order to investigate the interdependency between silos (subproblems), the Traveling...
View ArticleEnhancing partition testing through output variation
A major test case generation approach is to divide the input domain into disjoint partitions, from which test cases can be selected. However, we observe that in some traditional approaches to partition...
