Building blocks are a ubiquitous feature at all levels of human understanding, from perception through science and innovation. Genetic algorithms are designed to exploit this prev...
The shaky ladder hyperplane-defined functions (sl-hdf's) are a test suite utilized for exploring the behavior of the genetic algorithm (GA) in dynamic environments. We present...
A fundamental aspect of many evolutionary approaches to synthesis of complex systems is the need to compose atomic elements into useful higher-level building blocks. However, the ...
In the classical binary genetic algorithm, although crossover within a building block (BB) does not always cause a decrease in fitness, any decrease in fitness results from the ...
This work discusses the use of an Evolvable Hardware (EHW) platform in the synthesis of analog electronic circuits for Fuzzy Logic Controllers. A Fuzzy Logic Controller (FLC) is d...
