Multi-material 3D-printing technologies permit the freeform fabrication of complex spatial arrangements of materials in arbitrary geometries. This technology has opened the door t...
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...
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 ...

Problems such as the design of distributed controllers are characterized by modularity and symmetry. However, the symmetries useful for solving them are often difficult to determ...
Recently, it has been proven that evolutionary algorithms produce good results for a wide range of combinatorial optimization problems. Some of the considered problems are tackled...

We propose a variation of the standard genetic algorithm that incorporates social interaction between the individuals in the population. Our goal is to understand the evolutionary...
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...

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...
