In this paper, we introduce a new crossover operator for the permutation representation of a GA. This new operator-Non-Wrapping Order Crossover (NWOX)--is a variation of the well-...
This paper presents a novel approach to solve the constrained unit commitment problem using Selective Self-Adaptive Ant System (SSAS) for improving search performance by automatic...
The properties of symmetric fitness functions are investigated. We show that a well-known encoding scheme inducing symmetric functions has the non-synonymous property and the sear...
Nitrogen is one of the most important chemical intakes to ensure the healthy growth of agricultural crops. However, some environmental concerns emerge (soil and water pollution) w...
Spatial based gene selection for division of chromosomes used by crossover operators is proposed for three-dimensional problems. This spatial selection is shown to preserve more g...
Encapsulation of states in object-oriented programs hinders the search for test data using evolutionary testing. As client code is oblivious to the internal state of a server obje...
This paper proposes an adaptive discretization method, called Split-on-Demand (SoD), to enable the probabilistic model building genetic algorithm (PMBGA) to solve optimization pro...
This poster paper outlines a method for a search based approach to the development of provably correct protocols. Categories and Subject Descriptors C.2.2 [Computer Communication ...
In the realm of data mining, several key issues exists in the traditional classification algorithms, such as low readability, large rule number, and low accuracy with information ...
