As the Flexible Job Shop Scheduling Problem (or FJSP) is strongly NP-hard, using an evolutionary approach to find near-optimal solutions requires effective chromosome representatio...
In this paper, a new evolutionary computing model, called CLA-EC, is proposed. This model is a combination of a model called cellular learning automata (CLA) and the evolutionary ...

The interest of graph matching techniques in the pattern recognition field is increasing due to the versatility of representing knowledge in the form of graphs. However, the size ...
This paper looks upon the standard genetic algorithm as an artificial self-organizing process. With the purpose to provide concepts that make the algorithm more open for scalabili...
With resemblance of finite-state machines to some biological mechanisms in cells and numerous applications of finite automata in different fields, this paper uses analogies an...
