— One of the major driving forces of Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) is the reproduction phenomenon of virtual bacteria each of which models one trial solution o...
—This paper presents a new cooperative coevolving particle swarm optimization (CCPSO) algorithm in an attempt to address the issue of scaling up particle swarm optimization (PSO)...
Classical Evolutionary Programming (CEP) and Fast Evolutionary Programming (FEP) have been applied to realvalued function optimisation. Both of these techniques directly evolve th...
Many real-world constraint satisfaction problems (CSPs) can be over-constrained but contain a set of mandatory or hard constraints that have to be satisfied for a solution to be ac...
