Simulated annealing and the (1+1) EA, a simple evolutionary algorithm, are both general randomized search heuristics that optimize any objective function with probability
We present methods to answer two basic questions that arise when benchmarking optimization algorithms. The first one is: which algorithm is the `best' one? and the second one:...
This paper proposes an incremental approach for building solutions using evolutionary computation. It presents a simple evolutionary model called a Transition model in which parti...

In this paper, we present a framework that supports experimenting with evolutionary hardware design. We describe the framework’s modules for composing evolutionary optimizers an...
