nario, we used an automatic criterion for switching.
In future work, we plan to try different combina-
tions for scenarios using nodes, depth, critical path,
etc. In addition, we intend to use different mea-
surements for size, based on complexity, for exam-
ple defining different weights according to the type of
node.
