This paper investigates how the Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (UMDA) behaves in non-stationary environments when engaging in sampling and selection strategies designe...
This paper proposes a new mating scheme for evolutionary multiobjective optimization (EMO), which simultaneously improves the convergence speed to the Pareto-front and the diversit...
Crowding is a technique used in genetic algorithms to preserve diversity in the population and to prevent premature convergence to local optima. It consists of pairing each offsp...
Genetic algorithms require relatively large computation time to solve optimization problems, especially in VLSI CAD such as module placement. Therefore, island-based parallel GAs a...
This paper presents an adaptive genetic algorithm (GA) to solve the Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows (VRPTW) to near optimal solutions. The algorithm employs a unique dec...
