The work addresses the problem of identifying the epistatic linkage of a function from high cardinality alphabets to the real numbers. It is a generalization of Heckendorn and Wri...
This paper introduces the concept of a critical backbone as a minimal set of variables or part of the solution necessary to be within the basin of attraction of the global optimum...
In previous work [7] a computational framework was demonstrated that employs evolutionary algorithms to automatically model a given system. This is accomplished by alternating the...
In this paper we propose an agent-based model of evolutionary algorithms (EAs) which extends seamlessly from concurrent single-host to distributed multi-host installations. Since ...
A survey of niching algorithms, based on 5 variants of derandomized Evolution Strategies (ES), is introduced. This set of niching algorithms, ranging from the very first derandom...
