Optimization problems are more and more complex and their resource requirements are ever increasing. Although metaheuristics allow to significantly reduce the computational complex...
The landscape formalism unites a finite candidate solution set to a neighborhood topology and an objective function. This construct can be used to model the behavior of local sea...
We present a method for synthesizing two dimensional (2D) element arrangements from an example. The main idea is to combine texture synthesis techniques based-on a local neighborh...
