Selecting an optimum maintenance policy independent of other parameters of the production system does not always yield the overall optimum operating conditions. For instance, high...
A genome rearrangement scenario describes a series of chromosome fusion, fission, and translocation operations that suffice to rewrite one genome into another. Exact algorithmic ...
The Building Block Hypothesis suggests that Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-suited for hierarchical problems, where efficient solving requires proper problem decomposition and a...
Gossip algorithms have recently received significant attention, mainly because they constitute simple and robust message-passing schemes for distributed information processing over...
ct This chapter discusses two applications aiming at evolving images in the styles of two well-known Dutch painters: Mondriaan and Escher. For both cases we have an evaluation crit...
