Comparison of Evolutionary Algorithms for Design Optimization
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 ...

Applying Diffusion to a Cooperative Coevolutionary Model
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...

Modeling Building-Block Interdependency
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...

Multi-parent Recombination in Genetic Algorithms with Search Space Boundary Extension by Mirroring
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...

On Risky Methods for Local Selection under Noise
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...

Inver-over Operator for the TSP
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...

The Coevolution of Antibodies for Concept Learning
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...
