Application-specific, parameterized local search algorithms (PLSAs), in which optimization accuracy can be traded off with runtime, arise naturally in many optimization contexts....
An optimization algorithm for the design of combinational circuits that are robust to single-event upsets (SEUs) is described. A simple, highly accurate model for the SEU robustne...
This research applies the meta-heuristic method of ant colony optimization (ACO) to an established set of vehicle routing problems (VRP). The procedure simulates the decision-maki...
One of the major components of any evolutionary system is the evaluation function. Evaluation functions are used to assign a quality measure for individuals in a population. Where...
1 — This paper presents a new design automation tool based on a modified genetic algorithm kernel, in order to increase efficiency on the analog circuit and system design cycle. ...
