TOWARD AN AUTOMATON CONSTRAINT FOR LOCAL SEARCH

Toward an automaton Constraint for Local Search

We explore the idea of using finite automata to implement new constraints for local search (this is already a successful technique in constraint-based global search).We show how it is possible to maintain incrementally the violations Outdoor Table of a constraint and its decision variables from an automaton that describes a ground Candles checker f

Phylogenetic analysis of apicomplexan parasites infecting commercially valuable species from the North-East Atlantic reveals high levels of diversity and insights into the evolution of the group

Abstract Background The Apicomplexa from aquatic environments are understudied relative to their terrestrial counterparts, and the seminal work assessing the phylogenetic relations of fish-infecting lineages is mostly based on freshwater hosts.The taxonomic uncertainty of some apicomplexan groups, such as the coccidia, is high and many genera were
