Niching for Population-Based Ant Colony Optimization
Most Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) algorithms are able to find a single (or few) optimal, or near-optimal, solutions to difficult (NP-hard) problems. An issue though is that a s...

OPTIMIST: state minimization for optimal 2-level logic implementation
We present a novel method for state minimization of incompletely-specified finite state machines. Where classic methods simply minimize the number of states, ours directly addre...

A Decoder-Based Evolutionary Algorithm for Constrained Parameter Optimization Problems
Several methods have been proposed for handling nonlinear constraints by evolutionary algorithms for numerical optimization problems; a survey paper [7] provides an overview of var...

Informed operators: Speeding up genetic-algorithm-based design optimization using reduced models
In this paper we describe a method for improving genetic-algorithm-based optimization using informed genetic operators. The idea is to make the genetic operators such as mutation ...

Activity Analysis: The Qualitative Analysis of Stationary Points for Optimal Reasoning
We present a theory of a modeler's problem decomposition skills in the context of optimal reasonzng -- the use of qualitative modeling to strategically guide numerical explor...
