Deciding the appropriate population size and number of islands for distributed island-model genetic algorithms is often critical to the algorithm’s success. This paper outlines ...
Genetic algorithms are heuristic search algorithm used in science, engineering and many other areas. They are powerful but slow because of their evolutionary nature that mimics th...
This paper presents a study of parallel genetic algorithms (GAs) with multiple populations (also called demes or islands). The study makes explicit the relation between the probab...
Abstract. This paper presents an empirical study of population diversity measure and adaptive control of diversity in the context of a permutation-based algorithm for Traveling Sal...
In this paper, we present e cient algorithms for adjusting con guration parameters of genetic algorithms that operate in a noisy environment. Assuming that the population size is ...
