The Negative Slope Coefficient (nsc) is an empirical measure of problem hardness based on the analysis of offspring-fitness vs. parent-fitness scatterplots. The nsc has been teste...
Utility Grids create an infrastructure for enabling users to consume services transparently over a global network. When optimizing workflow execution on utility Grids, we need to c...
The Baldwin Effect is a very plausible, but unproven, biological theory concerning the power of learning to accelerate evolution. Simple computational models in the 1980’s gave...
Abstract-- Genetic algorithms have been used to evolve several neural network architectures. In a previous effort, we introduced the evolution of three well known ART architects; F...

This research introduces a general class of functions serving as generalized neuron models to be used in artificial neural networks. They are cast in the common framework of comp...
