Abstract. In order to escape from local optima, it is standard practice to periodically restart a genetic algorithm according to some restart criteria/policy. This paper addresses ...
The emergence of multimedia data in databases requires adequate methods for information retrieval. In a music data retrieval system by humming, the first stage is to extract exact...
In this paper, we present a comparative study of different stochastic components of genetic algorithms for simulationbased optimisation of the buffer allocation problem. We explor...
This paper describes the use of a genetic algorithm to solve a hydrology design problem - determining an optimal or near-optimal prescription of Best Management Practices in a flo...
We propose a new Genetic Algorithm (GA) for solving the minimum span frequency assignment problem (MSFAP). The MSFAP is minimizing the range of the frequencies assigned to each tr...
