The maximum hypervolume set yields near-optimal approximation
In order to allow a comparison of (otherwise incomparable) sets, many evolutionary multiobjective optimizers use indicator functions to guide the search and to evaluate the perfor...

Neuroevolution of mobile ad hoc networks
This paper describes a study of the evolution of distributed behavior, specifically the control of agents in a mobile ad hoc network, using neuroevolution. In neuroevolution, a p...
