This paper proposes a new niching method named hierarchical niching, which combines spatial niching in search space and a continuous temporal niching concept. The method is natural...
Abstract- Simulated annealing (SA) is an effective general heuristic method for solving many combinatorial optimization problems. This paper deals with two problems in SA. One is ...
In this paper, a new model of Probabilistic Model-Building Genetic Algorithms (PMBGAs), Distributed PMBGA (DPMBGA), is proposed. In the DPMBGA, the correlation among the design var...
In a two-market genetic algorithm applied to a constrained optimization problem, two ‘markets’ are maintained. One market establishes fitness in terms of the objective functio...

Over the last few years, a few approaches have been proposed aiming to combine genetic and evolutionary computation (GECCO) with inductive logic programming (ILP). The underlying r...
