For a mobile robot to move in a known environment and operate successfully, first it needs to robustly determine its initial position and orientation relative to the map, and then ...

The combination of low-thrust propulsion and gravity assists allows designing high-energy missions. However the optimization of such trajectories is no trivial task. In this paper,...
We present a novel multi-layered unsupervised learning artifical immune system (MARIA). We have employed vector quantisation to augment MARIA (and Kohonen Networks) to allow for a ...
Abstract-- High-throughput microarrays inform us on different outlooks of the molecular mechanisms underlying the function of cells and organisms. While computational analysis for ...
In this paper, we present an ant system algorithm variant designed to solve the job shop scheduling problem. The proposed approach is based on a recent biological study which showe...
In this paper we derive a simpler form of Particle Swarm Optimiser (PSO) which still retains the key properties of the original model. We do so by progressively altering the origin...

This paper studies the problems involved in solving, rating and generating Sudoku puzzles with genetic algorithms (GA). Sudoku is a number puzzle that has recently become a worldwi...
Calibrating the parameters of an evolutionary algorithm (EA) is a laborious task. The highly stochastic nature of an EA typically leads to a high variance of the measurements. The ...
