Dealing with inheritance in OO evolutionary testing
Most of the software developed in the world follows the object-oriented (OO) paradigm. However, the existing work on evolutionary testing is mainly targeted to procedural language...

The relationship between evolvability and bloat
Bloat is a common problem with Evolutionary Algorithms (EAs) that use variable length representation. By creating unnecessarily large individuals it results in longer EA runtimes ...

Are evolutionary rule learning algorithms appropriate for malware detection?
In this paper, we evaluate the performance of ten well-known evolutionary and non-evolutionary rule learning algorithms. The comparative study is performed on a real-world classi...

Fixed-parameter evolutionary algorithms and the vertex cover problem
In this paper, we consider multi-objective evolutionary algorithms for the Vertex Cover problem in the context of parameterized complexity. We relate the runtime of our algorithms...
