Abstract. The need for effective testing techniques for architectural level descriptions is widely recognised. However, due to the variety of domain-specific architectural descript...
We have developed a new tool for virtual database screening. This tool, referred to as the Generic Evolutionary Method for molecular DOCKing (GEMDOCK), combines an evolutionary app...
This paper discusses the performance of a hybrid system which consists of EDP and GP. EDP, Estimation of Distribution Programming, is the program evolution method based on the prob...
A swarm algorithm framework (SWAF), realized by agent-based modeling, is presented to solve numerical optimization problems. Each agent is a bare bones cognitive architecture, whic...
Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDA) are similar to genetic algorithms except that they replace crossover and mutation with sampling from an estimated probability distributi...

It is possible for a GA to have two stable fixed points on a single-peak fitness landscape. These can correspond to meta-stable finite populations. This phenomenon is called bis...
The Shifting Balance Genetic Algorithm (SBGA) is an extension of the Genetic Algorithm (GA) that was created to promote guided diversity to improve performance in highly multimodal...
Low diversity in a genetic algorithm (GA) can cause the search to become stagnant upon reaching a local optimum. To some extent, non-stationary tasks avoid this problem, which woul...
