The need to build modular, scalable, and complex technology capable of adaptation, self-assembly, and self-repair has fuelled renewed interest in using approaches inspired by deve...
We propose a new methodology to look at the fitness contributions (semantics) of different schemata in Genetic Programming (GP). We hypothesize that the significance of a schem...
Designing technical plants is a complex and demanding process. It has been shown that the optimization of the simple facility placement problem is already NP-hard. Optimization of...
Design optimization is a well established application field of evolutionary computation. However, standard recombination operators acting on the genotypic representation of the d...

In support vector machines (SVM), the kernel functions which compute dot product in feature space significantly affect the performance of classifiers. Each kernel function is suit...
