This paper discusses a new model of parallel evolutionary algorithms (EAs) called the specialized island model (SIM) that can be used to generate a set of diverse non-dominated sol...
We consider optimization problems of the form (S, cost), where S is a clause set over Boolean variables x1 . . . xn, with an arbitrary cost function cost: Bn → R, and the aim is ...

Background: Recent analyses have suggested that many genes possess multiple transcription start sites (TSSs) that are differentially utilized in different tissues and cell lines. ...
A variant of two-dimensional packing problem was given in the GECCO’2008 competition. This paper describes the genetic algorithm that produced the best result and thus won the N...
We describe algorithms to explore the space of all possible reconciliations between a gene tree and a species tree. We propose an algorithm for generating a random reconciliation, ...
