This paper describes a system for simulating the evolution of artificial 2D plant morphologies. Virtual plant genotypes are inspired by the mathematical formalism known as Lindenma...
This paper studies Genetic Programming (GP) and its relation to the Genetic Algorithm (GA). GP uses a GA approach to breed successive populations of programs, represented in the ch...
Given a connected, undirected graph G with labeled edges, the minimum-label spanning tree problem seeks a spanning tree on G to whose edges are attached the smallest possible numb...
We present a new representation for a genetic algorithm to evolve molecular structures representing possible drugs that bind to a given protein target receptor. Our representation...
In combinatorial solution spaces Iterated Local Search (ILS) turns out to be exceptionally successful. The question arises: is ILS also capable of improving the optimization proces...
