— 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...
We introduce quotient graphs for modeling neutrality in evolutionary search. We demonstrate that for a variety of evolutionary computing problems, search can be characterized by g...
In this paper, we propose to focus on the segmentation of vectorial features (e.g. vector fields or color intensity) using region-based active contours. We search for a domain that...
This work is concerned with the efficient design of a reverse logistics network using an extended version of models currently found in the literature. Those traditional, basic mo...
This paper discusses the simulation results of a model of biological development for neural networks based on a regulatory genome. The model’s results are analyzed using the fra...
