In this paper, we present simple and genetic forms of an evolutionary paradigm known as a society of hill-climbers (SoHC). We compare these simple and genetic SoHCs on a test suite...

Abstract. In practical applications evaluating a fitness function is frequently subject to noise, i. e., the “true fitness” is disturbed by some random variations. Evolutiona...
In this paper, we propose a differential evolution algorithm to solve constrained optimization problems. Our approach uses three simple selection criteria based on feasibility to g...
We develop a framework for the image segmentation problem based on a new graph-theoretic formulation of clustering. The approach is motivated by the analogies between the intuitiv...
We present in this work a wide spectrum of results on analyzing the behavior of parallel heuristics for solving optimization problems. We focus on evolutionary algorithms as well ...
