Reactive real-time systems have to react to external events within time constraints: Triggered tasks must execute within deadlines. The goal of this article is to automate, based ...
Two of the attractions of search-based software engineering (SBSE) derive from the nature of the fitness functions used to guide the search. These have proved to be highly robust...
Competent Genetic Algorithms can efficiently address problems in which the linkage between variables is limited to a small order k. Problems with higher order dependencies can onl...

Augmenting an evolutionary algorithm with knowledge of its target problem can yield a more effective algorithm, as this presentation illustrates. The Quadratic Knapsack Problem e...
A commonly experienced problem with population based optimisation methods is the gradual decline in population diversity that tends to occur over time. This can slow a system’s ...
