In most real-world problems, we either know little about the problems or the problems are too complex to have a clear vision on how to decompose them by hand. Thus, it is usually desirable to have a method to automatically decompose a complex problem into a set of sub problems and assign one or more specialists to each sub problem. The Cooperative Coevolutionary Mixture of Experts (CCME) model was designed to automatically decompose problems by combining the globaloptimization power of cooperative coevolution with the divide
