The dynamic optimization problem concerns finding an optimum in a changing environment. In the field of evolutionary algorithms, this implies dealing with a timechanging fitness l...
Abstract. In domains such as music and visual art, where the quality of an individual often depends on subjective or hard to express concepts, the automating fitness assignment bec...

Evolutionary algorithms applied in real domain should profit from information about the local fitness function curvature. This paper presents an initial study of an evolutionary...
Evolutionary Algorithms’ (EAs’) application to real world optimization problems often involves expensive fitness function evaluation. Naturally this has a crippling effect on ...
