The diffusion of service oriented architectures introduces the need for novel testing approaches. On the one side, testing must be able to identify failures in the functionality ...

Constrained continuous optimization is still an interesting field of research. Many heuristics have been proposed in the last decade. Most of them are based on penalty functions....
One of the most controversial yet enduring hypotheses about what genetic algorithms (GAs) are good for concerns the idea that GAs process building-blocks. More specifically, it ha...
In previous work [7] a computational framework was demonstrated that employs evolutionary algorithms to automatically model a given system. This is accomplished by alternating the...
A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
