The production of specimen for microsystems or microcomponents is both, time and material-consuming. In a traditional design process the number of possible variations which can be ...

Abstract. Perhaps one the newest and of the more interesting cooperative approaches to evolutionary computation which has been more recently explored is the area of mutualism. In m...
Optimal results for the Traveling Salesrep Problem have been reported on problems with up to 3038 cities using a GA with Edge Assembly Crossover EAX. This paper rst attempts to ind...

The Building-Block Hypothesis appeals to the notion of problem decomposition and the assembly of solutions from sub-solutions. Accordingly, there have been many varieties of GA tes...

In previous work, we have investigated real coded genetic algorithms with several types of multi-parent recombination operators and found evidence that multi-parent recombination w...
Abstract. This paper describes a parallel model for a distributed memory architecture of a non traditional evolutionary computation method, which integrates constraint propagation ...
The choice of the selection method used in an evolutionary algorithm may have considerable impacts on the behavior of the entire algorithm. Therefore, earlier work was devoted to t...
Abstract. In this paper we investigate the usefulness of a new operator, inver-over, for an evolutionary algorithm for the TSP. Inver-over is based on simple inversion, however, kn...
This paper presents two variants of Genetic Algorithms (GAs) for solving the Multiple Container Packing Problem (MCPP), which is a combinatorial optimization problem comprising sim...
We present a novel approach to concept learning in which a coevolutionary genetic algorithm is applied to the construction of an immune system whose antibodies can discriminate bet...
