A Study of Evaluation Functions for the Graph K-Coloring Problem
The evaluation or fitness function is a key component of any heuristic search algorithm. This paper introduces a new evaluation function for the well-known graph K-coloring proble...

On the Design of Adaptive Control Strategies for Evolutionary Algorithms
This paper focuses on the design of control strategies for Evolutionary Algorithms. We propose a method to encapsulate multiple parameters, reducing control to only one criterion. ...

Generating SAT Local-Search Heuristics Using a GP Hyper-Heuristic Framework
We present GP-HH, a framework for evolving local-search 3-SAT heuristics based on GP. The aim is to obtain “disposable” heuristics which are evolved and used for a specific su...

Direct and Indirect Representations for Evolutionary Design of Objects
Abstract. We follow up on the work of Ebner[1] in studying representations for evolutionary design of objects. We adopt both the method and the simulation framework, and perform mo...

The Cooperative Royal Road: Avoiding Hitchhiking
We propose using the so called Royal Road functions as test functions for cooperative co-evolutionary algorithms (CCEAs). The Royal Road functions were created in the early 90’s ...

Minimal and Necessary Conditions for the Emergence of Species-Specific Recognition Patterns
A simple mechanism is presented for the emergence of recognition patterns that are used by individuals to find each other and mate. The genetic component determines the brain of an...
