A co-evolutionary hybrid algorithm for multi-objective optimization of gene regulatory network models
In this paper, the parameters of a genetic network for rice flowering time control have been estimated using a multiobjective genetic algorithm approach. We have modified the rece...

Optimizing through Co-evolutionary Avalanches
Abstract. We explore a new general-purpose heuristic for nding highquality solutions to hard optimization problems. The method, called extremal optimization, is inspired by self-or...
