Subthreshold-Seeking Behavior and Robust Local Search
Subthreshold-seeking behavior occurs when the majority of the points that an algorithm samples have an evaluation less than some target threshold. We characterize sets of functions...

Evaluation of Different Fitness Functions for the Evolutionary Testing of an Autonomous Parking System
The method of evolutionary functional testing allows for the automation of testing by transforming test case design into an optimization problem. To this end it is necessary to def...
