We study a wide range of online covering and packing optimization problems. In an online covering problem a linear cost function is known in advance, but the linear constraints th...
Like Darwinian-type genetic algorithms, there also exists genetic drift in Univariate Marginal Distribution Algorithm (UMDA). Since the universal analysis of genetic drift in UMDA...
To help chemists design new drugs, we created a tool that uses interactive evolution to design drug molecules, the “Molecule Evoluator”. In contrast to most other evolutionary...

This paper introduces hyper-ellipsoids as an improvement to hyper-spheres as intrusion detectors in a negative selection problem within an artificial immune system. Since hyper-s...

Estimation of distribution algorithms (EDAs) are population-based heuristic search methods that use probabilistic models of good solutions to guide their search. When applied to co...
