— To optimize makespan and reliability for workflow applications, most existing works use list heuristics rather than genetic algorithms (GAs) which can usually give better solut...
Abstract With current developments of parallel and distributed computing, evolutionary algorithms have benefited considerably from parallelization techniques. Besides improved com...
We present a new framework for artificial life involving physically simulated, three-dimensional blocks called Division Blocks. Division Blocks can grow and shrink, divide and fo...
This paper compares three common evolutionary algorithms and our modified GA, a Distributed Adaptive Genetic Algorithm (DAGA). The optimal approach is sought to adapt, in near rea...

We present the Genetic L-System Programming (GLP) paradigm for evolutionary creation and development of parallel rewrite systems (Lsystems, Lindenmayer-systems) which provide a com...
