— Simulated Evolution (SimE) is a sound stochastic approximation algorithm based on the principles of adaptation. If properly engineered it is possible for SimE to reach nearopti...
Engineering design increasingly uses computer simulation models coupled with optimization algorithms to find the best design that meets the customer constraints within a time con...
Abstract. The graph partitioning problem consists of dividing the vertices of a graph into a set of balanced parts, such that the number of edges connecting vertices in different ...
Abstract. The mutation distribution of evolutionary algorithms usually is oriented at the type of the search space. Typical examples are binomial distributions for binary strings i...
We present in this work a wide spectrum of results on analyzing the behavior of parallel heuristics for solving optimization problems. We focus on evolutionary algorithms as well ...
