Distribution replacement: how survival of the worst can out perform survival of the fittest
A new family of "Distribution Replacement” operators for use in steady state genetic algorithms is presented. Distribution replacement enforces the members of the populatio...

Defining implicit objective functions for design problems
In many design tasks it is difficult to explicitly define an objective function. This paper uses machine learning to derive an objective in a feature space based on selected examp...

Genetic Representations for Evolutionary Minimization of Network Coding Resources
Abstract. We demonstrate how a genetic algorithm solves the problem of minimizing the resources used for network coding, subject to a throughput constraint, in a multicast scenario...

Exact/Heuristic Hybrids Using rVNS and Hyperheuristics for Workforce Scheduling
In this paper we study a complex real-world workforce scheduling problem. We propose a method of splitting the problem into smaller parts and solving each part using exhaustive sea...

The Cooperative Royal Road: Avoiding Hitchhiking
We propose using the so called Royal Road functions as test functions for cooperative co-evolutionary algorithms (CCEAs). The Royal Road functions were created in the early 90’s ...
