Building cost estimation models is often considered a search problem in which the solver should return an optimal solution satisfying an objective function. This solution also nee...
Many practical optimization problems are constrained black boxes. Covariance Matrix Adaptation Evolution Strategies (CMA-ES) belong to the most successful black box optimization me...
Abstract— Meta-heuristic optimization approaches are commonly applied to many discrete optimization problems. Many of these optimization approaches are based on a local search op...
During the optimization of a constrained problem using evolutionary algorithms (EAs), an individual in the population can be described using three important properties, i.e., obje...
Version control and bug tracking systems contain large amounts of historical information that can give deep insight into the evolution of a software project. Unfortunately, these ...
