Genetic Algorithms (GAs) are well-known heuristic algorithms and have been widely applied to solve combinatorial problems. Edge recombination is one of the famous crossovers design...
This paper presents a lens system design algorithm using the covariance matrix adaptation evolution strategy (CMA-ES), which is one of the most powerful self-adaptation mechanisms....
A top-N selection query against a relation is to find the N tuples that satisfy the query condition the best but not necessarily completely. In this paper, we propose a new method ...
One purpose of empirical software engineering is to enable an understanding of factors that influence software development. Surveys are an appropriate empirical strategy to gather...

In order to show that the parallel co-evolution of di erent heuristic methods may lead to an e cient search strategy, we have hybridized three heuristic agents of complementary beh...
