We review recent work on the Hierarchical-If-And-Only-If problem and present a new hierarchical problem, HIFF-M that does not fit with previous explanations for evolutionary diffi...
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...
This paper presents an improved version of a simple evolution strategy (SES) to solve global nonlinear optimization problems. As its previous version, the approach does not require...
In this paper we describe a generic library of problemsolving methods (PSMs) for scheduling applications. Although, some attempts have been made in the past at developing librarie...
