This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
Abstract. We study the implementation on grid systems of an efficient algorithm for demanding global optimization problems. Specifically, we consider problems arising in the geneti...
Local search algorithms often get trapped in local optima. Algorithms such as tabu search and simulated annealing 'escape' local optima by accepting nonimproving moves. ...

Deceptive problems have always been considered difficult for Genetic Algorithms. To cope with this characteristic, the literature has proposed the use of Parallel Genetic Algorith...
Abstract. Automated online search is a powerful technique for performance diagnosis. Such a search can change the types of experiments it performs while the program is running, mak...
