In this paper we introduce the variable fitness function which can be used to control the search direction of any search based optimisation heuristic where more than one objective ...

Local genetic algorithms have been designed with the aim of providing effective intensification. One of their most outstanding features is that they may help classical local searc...
— This work is part of a project that aims to develop and operate integrated evolvable hardware systems using unconstrained evolution. Experiments are carried out on an evolvable...
The notion of evolvability has been put forward to describe the“core mechanism”of natural and artificial evolution. Recently, studies have revealed the influence of the envi...
