Scatter search is an evolutionary method that has been successfully applied to hard optimization problems. The fundamental concepts and principles of the method were first propose...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) is inspired by the ability of ant colonies to find shortest paths between their nest and a food source. We analyze the running time of different ACO...
Abstract— Distributed coordination is critical for a multirobot system in hazardous waste cleanup under a dynamic environment. To achieve higher efficiency as well as robustness,...
In the human mind, high-order knowledge is categorically organized, yet the nature of its internal representation system is not well understood. While it has been traditionally con...
: A relatively new meta-heuristic, known as extremal optimisation (EO), is based on the evolutionary science notion that poorly performing genes of an individual are replaced by ra...
