Hyper-heuristics can be thought of as “heuristics to choose heuristics”. They are concerned with adaptively finding solution methods, rather than directly producing a solutio...

We propose a network characterization of combinatorial fitness landscapes by adapting the notion of inherent networks proposed for energy surfaces [5]. We use the well-known fami...

Using a set of model landscapes we examine how different mutation rates affect different search metrics. We show that very universal heuristics, such as 1/N and the error threshol...
