We introduce the Spacing Memetic Algorithm (SMA), a formal evolutionary model devoted to a systematic control of spacing (distances) among individuals. SMA uses search space dista...

Genetic algorithms are a population-based Meta heuristics. They have been successfully applied to many optimization problems. However, premature convergence is an inherent charact...
Search based optimization techniques have been applied to structural software test data generation since 1992, with a recent upsurge in interest and activity within this area. How...
Local search techniques have been applied in optimization methods. The effect of local search to the memetic algorithms can make multimodal and non-linear problems easier to solve...
This paper considers an extension of a vehicle routing problem with backhauls (VRPB). In this problem, a set of costumers are divided in two subsets consisting of linehaul and bac...

— Capacitated arc routing problem (CARP) has attracted much attention due to its generality to many real world problems. Memetic algorithm (MA), among other metaheuristic search ...
In recent years, there has been an increase in research activities on Memetic Algorithm (MA). MA works with memes; a meme being defined as “the basic unit of cultural transmiss...
The reconstruction of destroyed paper documents became of more interest during the last years. On the one hand it (often) occurs that documents are destroyed by mistake while on th...
In this paper, the problem of finding the optimal collision free path for a mobile robot, the path planning problem, is solved using an advanced evolutionary algorithm called memet...
