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...
In this paper, we present a study on the fault tolerance nature of the island model when applied to Genetic Algorithms. Parallel and distributed models have been extensively appli...
The Cross Entropy algorithm is a new search method for combinatorial problem. However, it needs considerable computational time to achieve good solution quality. To make the Cross...
This paper investigates the impacts of individual egoistic and altruistic behaviors in a virtual society built upon the Vidya game, used here as the social simulation and Multiage...
— One of the major challenges in managing resources of computational Grids with diverse shared resources is how to meet users' QoS requirements and rationally distribute res...
