Abstract. This paper discusses how preference information of the decision maker can in general be integrated into multiobjective search. The main idea is to first define the opti...
— The Redundancy Allocation Problem (RAP) is a kind of reliability optimization problems. It involves the selection of components with appropriate levels of redundancy or reliabi...
We present a novel means of algorithmically describing a growth process that is an extension of Lindenmayer’s Map L-systems. This growth process relies upon a set of rewrite rule...
— Despite their success as optimization methods, evolutionary algorithms face many difficulties to design artifacts with complex structures. According to paleontologists, living...
