Deceptive problems have always been considered difficult for Genetic Algorithms. To cope with this characteristic, the literature has proposed the use of Parallel Genetic Algorith...
This paper describes and analyzes the aggregation pheromone system (APS) algorithm, which extends ant colony optimization (ACO) to continuous domains. APS uses the collective behav...
We describe how the standard genotype-phenotype mapping process of Grammatical Evolution (GE) can be enhanced with an attribute grammar to allow GE to operate as a decoder-based Ev...
Abstract. In the field of Text Mining, a key phase in data preparation is concerned with the extraction of terms, i.e. collocation of words attached to specific concepts (e.g. Ph...
Test programs are fragment of code, but, unlike ordinary application programs, they are not intended to solve a problem, nor to calculate a function. Instead, they are supposed to ...
