Abstract— Tuning the parameters of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) to a given problem at hand is essential for good algorithm performance. Optimizing parameter values is, however,...
The design and development of an Interactive Evolutionary Computation (IEC) system needs to take into account the implementation issues found when delivering the system to “Real...
A hybrid evolutionary algorithm (EA) for the p-median problem consist of two stages, each of which is a steady-state hybrid EA. These EAs encode selections of medians as subsets o...
A need for solving more and more complex problems drives the Evolutionary Computation community towards advanced models of Evolutionary Algorithms. One such model is the island mo...
Software systems are used regularly in safety-relevant applications. Therefore, the occurrence of critical defects may not only cause costly recalls but may also endanger human liv...
