Genetic algorithms (GAs) used in complex optimization domains usually need to perform a large number of fitness function evaluations in order to get near-optimal solutions. In rea...
The constraint paradigm provides powerful concepts to represent and solve different kinds of planning problems, e. g. factory scheduling. Factory scheduling is a demanding optimiz...
In 1995, I nished my Ph.D. project which was focused on the selection of adequate Knowledge-Representation Systems (KRSs) for research applications. When I started working at the ...
Segmentation of a colour image composed of different kinds of texture regions can be a hard problem, namely to compute for an exact texture fields and a decision of the optimum num...
In this paper we describe a new class of representations for realvalued parameters called Center of Mass Encoding (CoME). CoME is based on variable length strings, it is self-adap...
