Self-adaptation of the mutation strengths is a powerful mechanism in evolution strategies (ES), but it can fail. As a consequence premature convergence or ending up in a local opt...
In this study, a new mechanism that adapts the mutation rate for each locus on the chromosomes, based on feedback obtained from the current population is proposed. Through tests us...
Restart is an application-level mechanism to speed up the completion of tasks that are subject to failures or unpredictable delays. In this paper we investigate if restart can be b...
