Abstract. Within model-driven software development, model transformation has become a key activity. It refers to a variety of operations modifying a model for various purposes such...
Recent work has provided functions that can be used to prove a principled distinction between the capabilities of mutation-based and crossover-based algorithms. However, prior fun...
Several theoretical analyses of the dynamics of particle swarms have been offered in the literature over the last decade. Virtually all rely on substantial simplifications, incl...
Tournament selection has been widely used and studied in evolutionary algorithms. To supplement the study of tournament selection, this paper provides several models describing th...
The artificial immune system approach for self-nonself discrimination and its application to anomaly detection problems in engineering is showing great promise. A seminal contribu...
