Abstract— Over the last years, interest in hybrid metaheuristics has risen considerably in the field of optimization. Combinations of methods such as evolutionary algorithms and...
Multimodal optimization problems consist in detecting all global and local optima of a problem. A new evolutionary approach to multimodal optimization called Roaming technique (RO...
Modularity is thought to improve the evolvability of biological systems [18, 22]. Recent studies in the field of evolutionary computation show that the use of modularity improves...
Researchers have previously looked into the problem of determining if a given set of security hardening measures can effectively make a networked system secure. Many of them also...
Wire routing in a VLSI chip often requires minimization of wire-length as well as the number of intersections among multiple nets. Such an optimization problem is computationally ...
