— One of the major driving forces of Bacterial Foraging Optimization Algorithm (BFOA) is the reproduction phenomenon of virtual bacteria each of which models one trial solution o...
— Deceptive problems are a class of challenging problems for conventional genetic algorithms (GAs), which usually mislead the search to some local optima rather than the global o...

—Inspired by the contours in topography, this paper proposes a contour method for the population-based stochastic algorithms to solve the problems with continuous variables. Rely...
In future large-scale multi-core microprocessors, hard errors and process variations will create dynamic heterogeneity, causing performance and power characteristics to differ amo...
