Abstract. This paper evaluates the power of a new scheme that generates search heuristics mechanically. This approach was presented and evaluated rst in the context of optimization...
Cellular Genetic Algorithms (cGAs) are a subclass of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) in which the population diversity and exploration are enhanced thanks to the existence of small overla...
When evaluating a heuristic for a combinatorial problem, randomly generated instances of the problem may not provide a thorough exploration of the heuristic's performance, an...
Real life optimization problems often require finding optimal solution to complex high dimensional, multimodal problems involving computationally very expensive fitness function e...
Background: Accurate estimation of statistical significance of a pairwise alignment is an important problem in sequence comparison. Recently, a comparative study of pairwise stati...
