Exact analysis of the sampling distribution for the canonical particle swarm optimiser and its convergence during stagnation
Several theoretical analyses of the dynamics of particle swarms have been offered in the literature over the last decade. Virtually all rely on substantial simplifications, incl...

Exploring selection mechanisms for an agent-based distributed evolutionary algorithm
In this paper we propose an agent-based model of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) which extends seamlessly from concurrent single-host to distributed multi-host installations. Since ...
