Randomized algorithms are widely used to address many types of software engineering
problems, especially in the area of software verification and validation with a strong …

In the past five years there has been a dramatic increase in work on Search-Based Software
Engineering (SBSE), an approach to Software Engineering (SE) in which Search-Based …

Recent years have seen a proliferation of complex Advanced Driver Assistance Systems
(ADAS), in particular, for use in autonomous cars. These systems consist of sensors and …

Abstract The aim of Search Based Software Engineering (SBSE) research is to move
software engineering problems from human-based search to machine-based search, using …

Software design is a process of trading off competing objectives. If the user objective space
is rich, then we should use optimizers that can fully exploit that richness. For example, this …

With modern requirements, there is an increasing tendency of considering multiple
objectives/criteria simultaneously in many Software Engineering (SE) scenarios. Such a …

Search-based software engineering (SBSE) is changing the way traditional software
engineering (SE) activities are carried out by reformulating them as optimisation problems …

This survey investigates search-based approaches to software design. The basics of the
most popular meta-heuristic algorithms are presented as background to the search-based …

Search-based software engineering (SBSE) solutions are still not scalable enough to handle
high-dimensional objectives space. The majority of existing work treats software engineering …

Model transformation programs are iteratively refined, restructured, and evolved due to
many reasons such as fixing bugs and adapting existing transformation rules to new …
