This paper empirically investigates parallel competent genetic algorithms (cGAs) [4]. cGAs, such as BOA [21], LINCGA [15], D5 -GA [28], can solve GA-difficult problems by automati...
We discuss the use of normal distribution theory as a tool to model the convergence characteristics of di erent GA selection schemes. The models predict the proportion of optimal a...
Composition of a system is driven by the (a) identification and specification of basic components, and (b) specification of the interactions across the components, i.e., the commu...
The synthesis theory for spatial linkage systems can be formulated in a way that is compatible with the geometric design of serial and parallel chain robotic systems. Mechanism de...
Hierarchical clustering methods are important in many data mining and pattern recognition tasks. In this paper we present an efficient coarse grained parallel algorithm for Single...
