Randomized algorithms have been used to successfully address many different types of
software engineering problems. This type of algorithms employ a degree of randomness as …

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 …

This paper claims that a new field of software engineering research and practice is
emerging: search-based software engineering. The paper argues that software engineering …

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 …

This paper describes work on the application of optimization techniques in software
engineering. These optimization techniques come from the operations research and …

Search-based optimization techniques have been applied to structural software test data
generation since 1992, with a recent upsurge in interest and activity within this area …

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 …

Incremental development provides customers with parts of a system early, so they receive
both a sense of value and an opportunity to provide feedback early in the process. Each …

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

This paper is concerned with the Multi-Objective Next Release Problem (MONRP), a
problem in search-based requirements engineering. Previous work has considered only …
