We describe the use of grammars as an approach to automatic function definition in Grammatical Evolution. The automatic generation of functions allows the evolution of both the fu...
Dynamic Resource-Constrained Project Scheduling Problem (DRCPSP) is a scheduling problem that works with an uncommon kind of resources: the Dynamic Resources. They increase and dec...
Maintaining diversity is important for the performance of evolutionary algorithms. Diversity mechanisms can enhance global exploration of the search space and enable crossover to ...

: This paper discusses the parallelization of Stochastic Evolution (StocE) metaheuristic, for a distributed parallel environment. VLSI cell placement is used as an optimization pro...
Randomized search heuristics (e.g., evolutionary algorithms, simulated annealing etc.) are very appealing to practitioners, they are easy to implement and usually provide good per...
