Performance modelling and automated algorithm design for NP-hard problems

In practical applications, some important classes of problems are NP-complete. Although no worst-case polynomial time algorithm exists for solving them, state-of-the-art algorithms can solve very large problem instances quickly, and algorithm performance varies significantly across instances. In add...
