This paper assumes a search space of fixed-length strings, where the size of the alphabet can vary from position to position. Structural crossover is mask-based crossover, and thu...

We describe the first instance of an approach for control programming of humanoid robots, based on evolution as the main adaptation mechanism. In an attempt to overcome some of th...
In this paper we compare and analyze the various diversity measures used in the Evolutionary Computation field. While each measure looks quite different from the others in form, we...
Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) has been applied successfully in solving the Traveling Salesman Problem. Marco Dorigo et al. used Ant System (AS) to explore the Symmetric Traveling S...
We explore the advantages of DNA-like genomes for evolutionary computation in silico. Coupled with simulations of chemical reactions, these genomes offer greater efficiency, reliab...
This paper describes the use of a genetic algorithm to solve a hydrology design problem - determining an optimal or near-optimal prescription of Best Management Practices in a flo...
This paper presents a modification of the particle swarm optimization algorithm (PSO) intended to combat the problem of premature convergence observed in many applications of PSO. ...
This article presents a model for DNA sequence alignment. In our model, a finite state automaton writes two-dimensional maps of nucleotide sequences. An evolutionary method for se...
This paper presents the virtual gene genetic algorithm (vgGA) which is a generalization of traditional genetic algorithms that use binary linear chromosomes. In the vgGA, tradition...
